I've recently switched from Sky BB to BT Broadband - the BT Sport offer was too good to pass up. BT of course has the BT HomeHub, which is a dual band router - a far cry from the crappy Sky router.
What I'm trying to find out is whether I'd see much of a speed/performance increase if I buy a dual band wireless adapter to complement the HH4's dual band ability? The router is downstairs, but my room is the first room off the landing and the wireless adapter is currently positioned next to the door, so the signal only has to go through one wall. I have heard that 5ghz range isn't as good as 2.4ghz - going by that setup, would I notice any significant improvements with a dual band adapter?
I'm looking at this one; it got 4.5 stars across almost 1,000 reviews at Amazon:
TP-Link TL-WN822N 300MBPS High Gain Wireless N USB Adapter
What about those external dual antennae - do they make a difference?
