pretty cool breakdown of what would be needed to get even fighting chance of 500+ mbps - http://superuser.com/questions/742250/h ... hout-wires
Not worth it IMO. Shared medium and short range. http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless ... ed?start=3dane wrote:802.11AD on 60ghz (millimeter wave) offers the promise of greater than Gigabit speeds, but do you have a client device (laptop, tablet, phone) with this technology in it? Acer reportedly was offering a laptop with 802.11AD, the model P648, but the Acer website doesn't say that 802.11AD is supported on that model in the specifications section. Looking at the TP-Link site, I don't see that they offer any expansion cards which support WiFi-AD yet either.

(The 900Mbps+ throughput of your Gigabit connection is only possible on wired Ethernet devices - WiFi doesn't go that fast, yet.)

In theory, with simultaneous 2.4g and 5g, a client device could achieve gigabit speed, but I've never seen a setup that'd do that. Anyone got one working, and able to speed test at full gigabit speed over wireless? I'd be interested to hear!
