A dual-band router is a router that has two bands.
For example, the Arris router used by subscribers to Time Warner Oceanic service provider uses the service provider provided router that two has bands, 2.4 GHZ and 5 GHz. This router has functioned well from the time it was installed. Before this I had a single band LinkSYS router.
A typical dual-band router has an administration panel shown here:
You can see that you can have separate settings (password, encryption, etc.) for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHZ bands that this router can provide.
You can have devices working with either of these two bands or both. For example one or two of desktop works on 2.4 GHZ and my Lumia 950 on 5 GHZ.
My Samsung TV works on the 2.4GHZ as well.
If want to utilize the full power of bandwidth, or have multiple devices that depend on Wi-Fi it may be better to go to dual-band router although they may cost higher.
