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.
Of course realistically WiFi never moves as fast as its rated to. Take wireless-N which even though rated at up to 150/300 Mbps, can max out often around 30-100 Mbps depending on the adapter. In their test PCWorld found the Asus USB-AC56 could move data at 404 Mbps at nine feet away.
