Net bandwidth on 802.11ac is nowhere near real 1Gbps though. Most i got out of a good 802.11ac AP that claimed 1,3Gbps was ~500-600Mbps in the real world on very close distance and it falls off pretty fast. Even the ones claiming nearly 2Gbps can't reach real 1Gbps afaik. Still very nice, but Wifi has a lot of overhead.
- devonkim 9y agoThe problem is that a lot of access points advertise n Gbps but that refers to full system bandwidth on multiple channels and such so you got somewhere close to what they were really expecting you to get. Heck, my Ubiquiti Unifi AC Pro can get me a bit over 800 Mbps without a problem in bursts (and it advertises well over 2 Gbps) but the nature of wifi networks is that I won't get that sustained for very long. For home server uses that most people don't have, I absolutely won't be able to work off a pure wireless network for many reasons.
- fulafel 9y agoThis is consistent with the other 802.11 speed ratings, back to 802.11b. You can generally divide the bitrate by 2 to get the maximum practical goodput.
