How much performance improvement should I expect with Wi-Fi CERTIFIED n products?
Performance of individual 802.11n devices is determined by the vendor’s choice of optional features as well as factors unrelated to Wi-Fi (processor speed, device design, etc.). As a group, Wi-Fi CERTIFIED n devices deliver up to 5 times or more the data rate and up to twice the range of older Wi-Fi standards; various optional 802.11n features can improve performance beyond those parameters. With a variety of optional features enabled, data rates for 802.11n devices can reach 600 Mbps. Wi-Fi device vendors deploy different sets of 802.11n features to suit the needs of a particular device, application, or market, so product performance will vary.
