Faster WiFi speed 300+300--Up to 600 Mbps [note]
[note] Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE 802.11
specifications. Actual data throughput and wireless coverage will
vary and may be lowered by network and environmental conditions,
including network traffic volume and building construction.

"Up to" and "for" are spelled differently for a reason. "300+300"
means no more than 300Mb/s for any one wireless connection. And
anything which involves any of your Ethernet ports will be limited to
"Fast Ethernet" speed. You might do better between a 2.4GHz wireless
client device and a 5GHz wireless client device.
