The OP must be seriously blinded by concatenated ACxxxxxx and ADxxxxxxxx marketing numbers, and has obviously no clue about wireless technology. No single 802.11ac does reach a speed (and high reliability, and low latency) of a simple Gigbit Ethernet link.

Not sure what you mean? The numbers on wired vs wireless were based on a survey we conducted with XR500 owners. There are a lot more gamers moving to wireless solutions than wired.

The move to wireless is for commodity, not for performance reasons. Not interested in a war here. Weigthing Gigabit Ethernet vs. ACxxxxx or ADyyyyy and trying to sell this as better ... tsk tsk tsk.

We have always said if you want to most stable connection, you should use wired connection. BUT, some people don't want wires or have limitations in their installation and wireless is the solution for them. No war here. We are presenting solutions for both camps.
