The Wi-Fi on AirPort Extreme can reach data rates of up to 1.3 Gbps using three-stream 802.11ac technology. This is triple the speed of the 802.11n standard.
Here's a breakdown of the key factors contributing to this speed:
-
802.11ac Technology: The AirPort Extreme utilizes the 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard, which offers significant improvements over previous standards.
-
Three-Stream Technology: This allows the AirPort Extreme to transmit and receive data across three separate streams, increasing the overall throughput.
-
Wider Channel Bandwidth: 802.11ac Wi-Fi provides double the channel bandwidth, using 80MHz-wide channels. This creates more room for data to flow faster.
