Maximum Speed on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with a 100 Mbps Backhaul

Hi Wi-Fi Experts.

One basic question: what is the maximum speed achievable on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi if the backhaul connectivity is a 100 Mbps leased line (a real WAN connection from an ISP)?

Also, what percentage of the backhaul speed can the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi realistically support?

It depends, for example from MikroTik cAP ac at school I am able (802.11n, 20 MHz channel width) to get around 105 Mbps against a single 2x2 MIMO device.

I’ve installed an outdoor wAP ac at a friends place last week in the village and I got about 90 Mbps outside in the garden (5 GHz is uplink from home AP, 2.4 GHz is AP for clients).

It very much depends on the surrounding radio conditions, if the neighborhood is busy you can be happy with 10 Mbps. :smiley:
