Simultaneous Dual Band supports two separate WiFi networks simultaneously using both 2.4- and 5-GHz frequency bands. It not only doubles the available bandwidth but also allows for a more reliable dedicated WiFi network for video and gaming (5GHz) to be created. When connecting multiple devices, having two separate wireless networks avoids over-crowding and interference and allows more flexibility to make the best possible connection.
Selectable Dual Band supports only one WiFi network, either 2.4- or 5-GHz. Essentially, a selectable dual-band wireless router is a single-band router with two channels from which to choose; you can use either channel, but not both at the same time.With a selectable dual band router, all the wireless devices in the home must share a single WiFi network.
