Is the New MacBook Air Wifi N Dual-Band or Single-Band? I cannot find any official information regarding this.
I have a Dual-Band router up to 450+450 and I'd like to know if the Mac would make the most of what I have.
Another related question would be… if the MacBook's Wifi could take up to 450mbs or would it only reach up to 300mbs?
Thank you!
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.3), Wifi Bandwidth
The MBair will operate on the 5 Ghz band or the 2.4 band but not both at once. 300 mbs is the best link speed on 5 Ghz wide channel.

Thank you Captfred for the quick clarification. A related question (and this might be obvious, I'm not sure) would be if the MBA uses single or dual antenna? I am not sure if N technologies always use dual antenna by default? The reason why I'd like to understand this is because I do watch quite a bit of streaming video. I supposed streaming through a single antenna could clog the connection quite a bit if at the same time I'm browsing other websites or download something else at the same time? While having two antennas would ease the communication by sending a request through one antenna and receiving the response through the other?
Best,
M
I can't answer the dual antenna question, don't know. I can say that the 300mbs is sufficient to have heavy downloads and web browsing co-exist at acceptable response times.
