Understanding Wi-Fi Speed: A Guide to Standards

·

·

The data transfer speed of Wi-Fi varies based on several factors, including the standard being used and environmental conditions. Here are some common Wi-Fi standards and their theoretical maximum speeds:

  • 802.11b: Up to 11 Mbps
  • 802.11g: Up to 54 Mbps
  • 802.11n: Up to 600 Mbps (with multiple antennas)
  • 802.11ac: Up to several Gbps, typically around 1.3 Gbps (with multiple streams)
  • 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6): Up to 9.6 Gbps under optimal conditions

It’s important to note that actual speeds can be significantly lower due to factors like distance from the router, interference from other devices, and the capabilities of the connected devices.
