802.11ac performance comes nowhere near to the claims of networking companies. Gigabit Wi-Fi is a misnomer; much less the claim of 1300Mb/s. You can expect no more than half that in use. Many networking companies are all too eager to splash these theoretical speeds over product packaging. Some will even add together the 802.11n and 802.11ac speeds and claim their routers can offer 1750Mb/s. This is nonsense. On the other hand, 802.11ac real-world speeds are substantially faster than what can be achieved with 802.11n, and the drop-off in performance at range is significantly reduced.
