IoT Insights and Updates from Minew.
Dual-band Wi-Fi gives IoT gateways the choice of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz connections, but switching bands is not a guaranteed fix for slow or unreliable data. This guide explains how the bands differ, how SSIDs and band steering affect gateway connectivity, and why real-world performance depends on signal, distance, interference, device support, and network conditions. It also compares deployment benefits, limitations, and costs, and introduces Minew’s MG11 gateway for Bluetooth-to-cloud IoT applic...
