The newest WiFi standard, 802.11ac, is roughly three times faster than the previous champ, 802.11n. In geek-speak, each 802.11ac antenna can move up to 1,300 megabits of data per second (vs. a max of roughly 450 megabits for n). So Iâll just get this out of the way: The easiest and fastest way to get more performance out of your WiFi network is to buy a new 802.11ac router.
It also can be limited by the speed of the Wi-Fi technology: for example, the top speed of the current wireless standard, 802.11n, is 54Mbps (although some routers support speeds of up to 600Mbps using multi-channel technology). Dial-up. Dial-up is by far the slowest of all Internet connections available. Use of dial-up requires a separate phone line, since users must connect via the telephone to their Internet service provider. Speeds max out at about 56Kbps, which is only about a tenth of the speed of even the slowest broadband connections. Dial-up use is only recommended when no other option is available.
