Wired? yes. 

wireless? no. AX is just starting to hit wireless gig speeds and thats at really close ranges. 

 

I'd take a look at reviews of those systems.

Re: rbr40

wireless is in the two hundred range based on speedtest.  I have to check the router when wired.

 

that seems low.

Wifi speeds depend more on the wifi client than on the wifi source. Your pushbike sure ain't going to reach 200 mph on a race track.

 

200 Mbps is faster than many wifi clients can handle.

 

It might be worth a bit of background reading.
