![]() The reason is because antennas add cost and take up space and the smaller the device the less antennas they can fit so it becomes pointless adding more to a router. Long term 802.11ac has the headroom to support up to eight antennas each running at over 400Mbps each, but the fastest router to date only has four antennas. By contrast 802.11n tops out at about 240Mbps (30MBps) so the 3x estimate is still true, just much lower.īut there is one more crucial part to understand for your real world experience: antennas. In the real world no-one ever gets close to theoretical speeds and the fastest 802.11ac real world speeds recorded in testing are around 720Mbps (90MBps). This is 3x faster than the typical 450Mbps speed attributed to 802.11n. WiFi is always promoted using ‘theoretical’ speeds and by this standard 802.11ac is capable of 1300 megabits per second (Mbps) which is the equivalent of 162.5 megabytes per second (MBps).
