HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw VS. HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281cdw

[beginnerPrinter]

Hi all!

I am in search of a new printer for my home business (invitation printing) and came across the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281cdw. However, in my research - i found that there is an HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw model.  I tried looking at the specifications of each model and can't seem to find a difference. Does anyone know the difference between the two?

Thanks in advance,

the novice printer

   Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port; built-in Fast Ethernet 10/100/1000 Base-TX network port, Dual band 802.11n 2.4/5GHz, Fax port, Front Host USB

It is much better for the one which supports dual band. Many wireless routers now broadcast dual band.

Actually, they both support dual band. According to HP, the M281cdw and M281fdw have the same specs. However, the M281cdw is a reseller model and it is not available directly from HP.
