Why Wireless-AC?
Wireless-AC is engineered to move more data faster—up to three times faster than Wireless-N. The result is smooth video streaming, more responsive gaming experiences and all-around improved connectivity. Faster data rates are achieved by using higher modulation (256- QAM for AC vs. 64-QAM for N) that allows much more data to be transmitted within the same time period. Wireless-AC also provides twice the channel bandwidth of Wireless-N and means that your data can travel on multiple parallel paths. Your mobile devices also gain extended battery life by achieving optimal transfer speeds. Wireless-AC is backward-compatible with a/b/g/n wireless protocols.
