Up to 2.8x faster physical data rate when compared to 802.11n Wi-Fi routers
using two antennas to transmit and receive data. Actual speeds will vary
depending on a number of factors. In order to achieve the best performance,
the router must be used with a compatible AC867 wireless device. The standard
transmission rates—300 Mbps or 867 Mbps (for 5 GHz), 300 Mbps (for 2.4 GHz),
54 Mbps, and 11 Mbps—are the physical data rates. Actual data throughput will
be lower and may depend on the mix of wireless products used and external
factors.
