| - | The WiFi chip is connected via a 4-bit SDIO link that typically runs at 41.7MHz giving an upper limit on throughput of ~160Mbs. In practise you won't get close to that because it is a simplex link (only one direction at a time) and there is overhead in each of the protocol and transport layers. Given that, 112Mbps sounds pretty good. Even though the throughput hasn't increased, being able to properly use the wide channels means that the channel (which is a shared medium) is occupied for a shorter time, leaving more time for other devices. | + | The WiFi chip is connected via a 4-bit SDIO link that typically runs at 41.7MHz giving an upper **limit on throughput of ~160Mbs**.
