Compared to Wi-Fi 802.11n currently in use, 802.11ac is faster, can transmit 450 Mbits / s (about 57 megabytes / s).

The Wi-Fi network standards we use today are all part of the IEEE 802.11 standard suite, which comes with one or more letters behind. IEEE stands for Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers , roughly translating as the Association of Electrical and Electronics Engineers , which is responsible for approving configuration and promoting Wifi development.

Theoretically, 802.11ac is capable of transmitting a maximum of 1.3Gbits / second (162.5 MB / sec). The transmission speed of an 802.11ac Router is twice that of 802.11n routers .

In addition, the important point to note is that unlike the 802.11n standard, the 802.11ac standard can only be transmitted over the 5GHz band.

Similar to 802.11n 802.11n Wifi on existing multichannel routers, the new frequency allows 802.11ac to operate without fear of interference from a multitude of devices such as phones, bluetooth . or even products themselves. Use Wifi at 2.4 GHz.
