IEEE 802.11g: 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54Mbps

·

IEEE 802.11n (2.4GHz): 6,5–450Mbps (MCS0–MCS23)
to 600Mbps (QAM256)

·

IEEE 802.11n (5GHz): from 6,5 to 450Mbps (from MCS0
to MCS23)

IEEE   802.11ac   (5GHz):   from   6,5   to   1300Mbps  (from
MCS0 to MSC9)

Maximum wireless signal rate is derived from IEEE standard 802.11ac and 802.11n specifications. In order
to get the rate of 600Mbps in the 2.4GHz band, a Wi-Fi client should support MIMO 3x3 and QAM256
modulation   scheme.  Actual   data   throughput   will   vary.  Network   conditions   and   environmental   factors,
including  volume  of  network traffic,  building  materials  and  construction,  and network  overhead, lower
actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors will adversely affect wireless signal range.
