The router saying it can do 1300mbps/450mbps doesn't mean that's real world. And even then, that first number is IF your device connects via 5ghz vs 2.4ghz (many devices prefer it as it goes through walls better) AND the router is set for 80mhz channels (or maybe even 160mhz which is like.. all of it) AND your device can handle it (current iPad can but 2yr ago didn't.. same with laptops, etc) AND there's no other networks on those channels causing collisions AND you're in the vacuum of deep space (but we have that pesky oxygen). It's actually surprisingly hard to push something that fast even if you know what you're doing. Run a smaller channel, forget to disable 2.4ghz, have oxygen present, etc and you lose 25%-75% of the speed at EACH step. Oh and wifi is half-duplex so when you download it has to stop to upload all the ACK packets and such killing your throughout even more.
Getting real-world 100mbps over WiFi and I'm giddy. Which is why I've always questioned why bother with 200mbps, 400mbps, gigabit, etc? Other than you have to to avoid SL's data cap.. because no one I know uses wired except for servers and 99% of people aren't dorks like me with servers so..
