How do I tell if my router is dual-band?
N300 Wireless Gigabit Router model WNR3500L

its easy to know
by default all wifi bands are enabled when your multi-band router is on until you manually disable a band
so long as you know the wifi SSID of your router, if it is dual band then you will see the SSID of the router repeated with a suffix to differentiate the 2.4GHz from the 5Ghz band i.e 'netgearXX' and 'netgearXX-5G'

I only see one place to enter the SSID so I can assume it has only one band, 2.4GHz. Thank you very much!!!
