Hey guys, first off, I am a computer guy but by no means a networking guy. I currently have a Motorola Cable modem/router. It is dual band so I can set it to either 5ghz or 2.4 ghz. I am able to use the 5ghz for my cell phone and laptop, but am forced to leave it at 2.4 due to my tablet and other laptop not being able to use 5ghz.

I have done GOOGLE research and it seems I would need a simultaneous dual band router. I just want to make sure it will do what I want it to do. Which is enable the 5ghz speeds for the devices that will work with it, and 2.4 with those devices, without having to go into the router settings and changing things. Is this correct? If it is, can you recommend me a bran/model that wont break the bank? Also, is there a nickname for this type of router that I can search for? Thanks in advance.
