Increased 802.11ac link speed #34

Closed eligrey closed 8 years ago

eligrey commented 8 years ago

The maximum 802.11ac speed listed in this table is incorrect. The maximum speed of an 802.11ac connection is 6900 Mbps (8T8R on both ends over a 160MHz channel in 5GHz spectrum).

I'd also be okay with capping it at ~3400 Mbps (4T4R @ 160MHz) until 802.11ac hardware surpasses that point.

@eligrey do you have any references we can point at? Current wikipedia link points to outdated data.

The 802.11ac IEEE standard allows for theoretical speeds up to 6.9 Gbps in the 5-GHz band

This page has an easy to understand chart of the values, and a breakdown of how those values were calculated. Also I I guess we might as well use the absolute maximum theoretical, so I'll update my PR to use 6933.3 Mbps.

Thanks Eli, looks good. One more nitpick: can you update the ref field with the cisco link and squash?

Done.
