Wireless routers can't really do gigabit speeds? That doesn't sound right.
Also he says a separate high bandwidth signal coordinates the units, would that limit range? Why not a lower bandwidth signal?
- windowsworkstoo 10y ago802.11ac wave 1 is 1.3Gbps theoretical max, Wave 2 is 2.3Gbps or so theoretical max. But that's half duplex. And it's shared amongst every station on the AP, so it'd be rare to see consistent gig speeds for a station anywhere other than a lab or perfect test setup.
- mtgx 10y agoI don't think we'll see consistent 1Gbps+ speeds for Wi-Fi until the 802.11ax standard arrives, which is probably 2018-2019. This is a good post about it: http://www.extremetech.com/computing/184685-what-is-802-11ax-wifi-and-do-you-really-need-a-10gbps-connection-to-your-laptop http://www.extremetech.com/computing/184685-what-is-802-11ax...
- honkhonkpants 10y agoGeez, complain much? It's a miracle it works at all.
