I thought it was 1733 Mbps on 5 ghz? Is that figure the throughput sum over all concurrent devices? If so, could a single device with multiple antennas get 1733 Mbps rather than 300-400?

Personally I've never been able to go much above 400Mbps on Wifi 5 with any device. I'm hoping Wifi 6 will change that.

1733 is a bullshit marketing figure. Nobody has ever seen that.

The best I’ve ever seen on WiFi 5 is 850-900 MBps (4x4 MU-MIMO router, 3x3 MacBook Pro, nothing else active on the network)
