How the hell did I lose my Wyn-Radius VM????????????????????????

Is that an AC-Lite?

I prefer full fat AC, don't you be giving me half wave rectified or any of that DC nonsense.

Based on size, that is the AC-Lite.

For what purpose? I have zero use for full AC in the house or at any of my clients.
Obviously, it is sexy speeds, but if I am not going to be saturating it who cares? Why buy more?

I do have 100Mb at home, and when downloading ISOs it's nice to get max effect. The LIte does limit me to 80 something instead of 100+.

This was an electricity joke, please ignore.
Edit: I have 802.11AC at home and it's sweet, highly recommend.

Doh.. LOL I completely missed the AC/DC thing
FYI, UBNT AC-Lite maxes at something like 85 Mb, where the AC protocol is something like 130, or is it 300?

Just how bad can you screw that up? Please don't talk out your ass. 85Mb?

hmmm... I wonder why I can't get better than 85 Mb on my wireless, but I can do 120 on wired, same ISP, Same firewall.
-
@Dashrender 120MB/s is ~=1Gigabit network speed
85MB/s out of wifi is pretty damned good.
-
Do you have several devices on the wireless. Contention does a TON of speed reduction.

Yes, two phones and two other laptops.
During my speed testing, I make sure they are all idle, not using internet bandwidth.

Well that is certainly a major factor. And are you getting 85Mb/s going wireless to wired or wireless to wireless?

Wireless to the wired internet

Slightly surprising that you are only seeing 85Mb/s over the AP but those other devices might be doing something. 300Mb/s is the total speed, not the speed per device. So split between six devices is only 50Mb/s between them plus collision overhead which, as you get to any traffic level, becomes enormous.
-
You also have to consider packet drop. It's 300Mb/s if every packet makes it. Not if there are retransmits.
-
You also have to consider other sources of interference in that band frequency and CSMA/CA
