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.
1 IEEE 802.11a: In terms of speed, the 802.11a standard was far ahead of the original 802.11 standards. 2  802.11a specified speeds of up to 54Mbps in the 5GHz band, but most commonly, communication takes place at 6Mbps, 12Mbps, or 24Mbps. 3  802.11a is incompatible with the 802.11b and 802.11g wireless standards. IEEE 802.11n: The newest of the wireless standards listed in the Network+ objectives is 802.11n. 2  The goal of the 802.11n standard is to significantly increase throughput in both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz frequency range.
