IEEE 802.11ac-2013 or 802.11ac is a wireless networking standard in the IEEE 802.11 set of protocols (which is part of the Wi-Fi networking family), providing high-throughput wireless local area networks (WLANs) on the 5 GHz band.

802.11ac is a Wi-Fi standard that delivers higher throughput to WLANs than 802.11n, the preceding Wi-Fi standard. The IEEE introduced 802.11ac in 2013. The Wi-Fi Alliance since renamed 802.11ac as Wi-Fi 5 to place it in context with the following generation, Wi-Fi 6, also known as 802.11ax.

2016年1月3日 · But what does 802.11ac mean, and is it really necessary for you to get the most out of your daily WiFi browsing experience? Read on as we clear up the confusion around this confounding wireless networking standard and tell you everything you need to know about the newest devices that can support it in 2016.

2024年6月28日 · Which of the popular wireless home networking standards like 802.11be, 802.11ax, 802.11ac, 802.11n, or 802.11g Wi-Fi is right for you? Here's a look at each one.

2024年12月30日 · This article delves into the various 802.11 standards, with particular emphasis on 802.11be, 802.11ax, 802.11ac, 802.11b/g/n, and 802.11a, enabling a comprehensive understanding of their differences and implications for users.

In this definition, learn about the features of the wireless standard 802.11ac, also known as Wi-Fi 5. Discover its benefits, limitations and how it works.

2013年10月5日 · The 802.11ac protocol, referred to by Broadcom as the fifth-generation of Wi-Fi or 5G WiFi, is essentially the next step in the evolution of Wi-Fi from 802.11n (Figure 2). 802.11ac represents a dramatic leap forward — up to three times faster and up to six times more power efficient than equivalent 802.11n.
