PLW1000v2 Wi-Fi speed rating
Hi,
Im wondering if anyone knows the actual wifi speed rating of the PLW1000v2 wifi adapter that comes in the kit? It is dual band N+AC but what are the speeds? Is it N300 + AC450 for example makin...
This is one of those questions best thrown into the wider world. Netgear just works to the international standards for wifi.
And, of course, real world experience will be at variance with what the standards say. They are just too many local variables for anything to be able to achieve those theoretical limits.
Here are some sources on wifi speeds that I have stumbled across over the years:
The Difference Between Wireless-N, Wireless-AC, & Wireless-AD

- Hi there,
This is not really an answer.. I just want to know the speed rating per my question. Surely this is fairly easy to answer?It is an answer. You just have to read what you wrote and tie the two together.
The Data Sheet for the PLW1000 says "IEEE® 2.4 GHz/5 GHz 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac wireless interface".
You can also consult the Powerline User Manual somewhere at the end of this link:

The "1000" refers to the wired Ethernet speed. But you knew that already.
Unfortunately, I doubt if Netgear is likely to show us the wifi speeds that it gets in its own lab tests.
- FYI, it’s an AC600 access point. That is all I was trying to find out.
