Using optimization techniques, the wireless spec can support a theoretical top speed of more than 40Gbps, though vendors like Qualcomm suggest 5.8Gbps is a more realistic expectation

That is insane! Not that I would, but this could utilise the full pipe of my home connection on wifi only!

    That’s great! I only have a 200mbps connection and my home lab will not even saturate the 100mbps speed I get over wifi at the moment. I guess it could, but if I make a full backup, I’ll plug into Ethernet for a while.

      I’m lucky enough to live in an area that has 3Gbps pipe. Not that I need it as such, but it’s definitely a nice thing to have!

        Another telecom started servicing my building. I currently have about a year left on my contract and I plan to switch as they offer a faster symmetrical connection. I could get them before, but they were not allowed to offer anything higher than 20mbps. So, as long as that cap is lifted I am switching over.
