But others can run into headaches with certain applications, services, and situations. Some users may never notice, making it a non-issue for them. Having more than one device performing NAT on a private network, however, can cause issues with that network.
Newer Wi-Fi routers will provide better experience due to the speed of processor and RAM resources on-board to route video traffic. In addition to this, there are several other router configurations necessary for use with the SkyBell. SkyBell will operate on the 2.4 GHz bands only. In order for SkyBell to connect to these routers, the bands must have distinct SSIDs to allow the two bands to broadcast on separate networks. Newer models of wireless routers operate with both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands broadcasting simultaneously. The common frequency bands are 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. SkyBell connects to the 2.4 GHz frequency band only. Since SkyBell is located outside the home, we have determined that using the 2.4 GHz band will provide optimum performance. The 2.4 GHz band is able to travel a greater distance and pass through walls while maintaining a strong signal. While it's true that the 5 GHz band is much faster than the 2.4 GHz band, the strength of the 5 GHz band is not as strong. We refer to this process as router reconfiguration. In order for SkyBell to connect to these routers, the bands must be split to allow the two to broadcast on separate networks. Newer model wireless routers operate with the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands broadcasting simultaneously. However, SkyBell only connects to the 2.4 GHz frequency band.
This allows SkyBell to connect to B-only, G-only, mixed BG, & mixed BGN networks. SkyBell is equipped with an 802.11b/g/n wireless chip set.
