WiFi Speeds with ac router

I got my SP3 today and the first thing I did when I got home was hit the Speedtest website. I'm happy to say that I got 50MB down--I'm a happy camper!

I have 50mb service from my cable company, and my router is about 15 feet away with direct line of sight. When I run speed tests on my iPad, I typically get around 24mb down. Although I rarely have any problems streaming, it would still be nice to maximize the connection.

If it's cable, they always mumble about "up to" speeds.

But it my case, I was getting the advertised speed on my desktop and my phone, but not the iPad. I AM getting it on the SP3.

While I only have 20 MBps down it was more a case of transfers over my network (server to my laptops around the house) that made the biggest difference. Laptops are notorious for poor WiFi connection speed. With my built in WiFi 2.4 Ghz n I could only get 2-4Mbps while when I added a 802.11ac adapter it went up to 20-24 Mbps.
