802.11n devices can have up to 4T4R MIMO and achieve max. 900 Mbps (2.4 GHz + 5.8 GHz
concurrently). Whereas 802.11AC can have up to
EIGHT antenna and aggregate capacity of
6.77 Gbit/s (see
Wikipedia for details)... Making even gigabit ethernet pale in comparison.
Current middle-to-high-end Androids mostly equipped with dual-band WiFi (2.4 GHz + 5.8 GHz), and if your routers can support them, this may put them to good use. And not to mention new devices are coming...
802.11AC routers could suit users with extra bucks to spend and demanding "future-proof", with no worry of "upgrade" for at least 3-5 years to come...
Though, it's recommended to wait for the 802.11AC standard goes final next year.
do u know that actually the 5GHz have less range?
802.11n standards list its approximate range.. 802.11AC doesn't, everything is still speculation..
read this..
ZDNet Articleeven 802.11G or 802.11N doesn't give max throughput all the time... 802.11AC certainly will not replace ur GigE link..
wireless connection have lots of overhead..
