Also remember wireless speed require capable devices on both ends - if your client device is older then a faster speed by the router will be of marginal or no help.
quote:What do you mean by ethernet speeds? 1gbps? 10gbps? That is ethernet speed on LANs.
Just as a "rule of thumb", if your client device cannot utilize the 5G bands it is not going to approach ethernet speeds
For internet speed, there is no reason you shouldn't get 50-70mbps on any wireless N 2.4ghz band device with just one antenna (minimum) in the device. 5ghz doesn't even matter in the general discussion. You don't need 5ghz to equal utilize a 100mbps or 150mbps internet connection wireless.
2.4ghz 1-2 antenna devices are overly common. A wireless N router with 2 antennas providing coverage for wireless devices with 2 antennas will push out 140+mpbs.

My usage of "ethernet" refers to devices (such as a PC) hardwired via ethernet connection. Sorry if confusing.
I'm presently on a 75 Mbps plan. I actually attain speeds of 80 Mbps+ on two ethernet connected desktop PC's & 5G wireless on both late versions of Android & Apple devices. Wireless speeds on the 2.4G bands top out on the same devices in the mid-50's. Our older iPhone 4S and (2012) Nexus 7 will not break 30 Mbps on 2.4, their only option.
