The ac standard is a significantly better over 802.11n, which is used on current Apple products and throughout most of the computing industry. Whereas an n device is only capable of transfers up to 450Mbps using three antennas, an ac device can hit 1.3Gbps under that configuration, or 450Mbps via a single antenna. Most home Internet connections are gay, and therefore can't properly utilize 1.3Gbps speed, but ac may be extremely important for LANs, where increasingly large files are being copied or streamed.
Finally. An improvement that might be worth the while for everything.
ReplyDeleteYES In Layman's terms this will not improve the speed of web browsing, but it will seriously improve Home Sharing (and related uses) when streaming to multiple devices simultaneously and streaming high bit-rate (high quality) and high resolution videos please include QoS when this is incorporated into your router product line!
ReplyDeletepointed out above, the external link speed to your ISP is likely far less vs. even your current gear. Generally internet access is limited by your internet speed not your local network speeds.
ReplyDeleteThis is great for someone moving large files between computers on the same network, backing up (to a local network resource), etc.

My reply was a little late since another couple of posts snuck in while I discussed hot chocolate with my 4 year old

ReplyDeleteI want to see what fiber optic will bring.
Think of it in terms of pipes
ReplyDeleteYou have one pipe coming in (DLS/Cable/FIOS/whatever). That's usually between 1Mbps to 30Mbps.
Now, inside the house, you have a giant hose, capable of 150/300/450 Mbps and now 1.3 Gbps.
Will your uploads and downloads go any faster? Why? Why not?
However, if you had multiple wireless devices in the house, and assuming they all support the new standard, then where you were not able to wirelessly stream (from your media server inside the house) 1080p under 802.11a/b/g, but you could with 802.11n, now you can stream it to multiple devices...
They should add a couple USB 3.0 ports while they're at it.
ReplyDeleteWhat's all this "Likely" weasel word crap? Name a single ISP who has a commercial line even purely downstream above 150-600mbps. Nobody asking about whether or not it will affect them at home has that kind of connection, so give them the right answer.
ReplyDeleteThe answer is no, this isn't going to improve your Internet experience one bit
It's not only the company's advertising costs that have jumped. Sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, a type of corporate overhead, has shot up because of a number of factors, as Apple explained in its most recent 10-K annual filing:
ReplyDeleteOn my base 150 mbps 802.11n wireless (I have a 20$ AP), I get about 8 MB/sec transfer, vs 10 MB/sec transfer over 100 Mbps Ethernet to my NAS.
DeleteSo it's not as bad as you make it out to be.
