Products are tested either using the Azimuth method (older products) or the Open Air method (newer products).

When looking for products, start with the 2.4 GHz Up or Downlink Benchmarks to see both 802.11b/g and draft 802.11n products. The 40 MHz B/W benchmarks apply only to draft 802.11n products.

This chart shows the average throughput of 802.11 wireless devices for the frequency band, direction and mode described in the chart title.

The average is calculated from throughput measurements taken at six locations in a residential home.

  • represent results using this test procedure.
  • represent results using the same test procedure, but with an Intel Wi-Fi Link 5300 AGN test client.
  • Mousing over a bar will show the current lowest price for the product.
  • Clicking on the product description will take you to the related review.

A basic introduction to the Wireless Charts can be found here.
