ASUS WiFi 6 Bundle (Router + Network Adapter)
Question about ASUS WiFi 6 Bundle (Router + Network Adapter)
Can someone explain the following to me?: - Max. Port speed 1000 Mbit/s - 5 GHz transmission rate 4800 Mbit/s I.e. the Salt 10000 Mbit/s internet (or other over 1000 Mbit/s internet connections) would theoretically be distributed over the air at 4800 Mbit/s with this router, but is throttled thanks to 1000 Mbit/s port speed? Is this a marketing joke? Shouldn't these two values be the same? Or at least the port speed higher? The buyer is being taken for a fool.
Yes, the buyer is somewhat fooled if he believes the marketing. But a little differently than you think ;-)
You wrote yourself "theoretically with 4800 Mbit/s over the air". Theoretically, what would you expect in practice? That is, when gross becomes net?
The LAN port with a net 1000 Mbit/s can transmit 940 Mbit/s in practice.
With WLAN, the net is up to 5-10 times smaller than the gross. Under the best conditions! So router and e.g. tablet in the same room. But if walls, floors or other things come into play, it becomes even less. Wifi is also a shared medium. If 5 devices use the wifi at the same time, 5x4800 are not available. With copper cable, each LAN port has its 1000 exclusively for itself.

By the way, there are already higher levels than 1000 Mbit/s for network cables. Namely 2,500, 5,000 and 10,000 Mbps. However, this is still not very widespread in the private sector because the corresponding devices such as routers and switches for these areas are still missing or still expensive.
