Netgear07 or Netgear07-5G?

Which should I use? What is the difference? Just installed this new modem.

    What NG router do you have? 

    Usually that means that the 07 is a 2.4Ghz signal and the 07-5G is a 5Ghz signal. Up to you which one you want to use. 

     

    Some routers use smart connect so that combines both signals in to just one SSID name and thus any device you connect will automatically pick the best signal to use.
