As quoted in ExtremeTech, “[t]he theoretical max speed of 802.11ac is eight 160 MHz 256-QAM channels, each of which are capable of 866.7 Mbps, for a total of 6,933 Mbps” in order to provide a higher transfer rate. In today’s real world environment, the true throughput capacity is limited from the client device and not the access points. Current high end products with 80 MHz, 3x3 spatial stream, and 256QAM have max data rate of 1300 Mbps and a throughput of 910 Mbps. This suggests that clients are not receiving the advertised speed by
