But the airwaves must be clear and your client device compatible. I hear and read a lot of complaints about wifi speeds but it's more than just getting the router and compatible client wifi. It's also about what else is on the air in the area and the fact there wifi is shared access so your 200 Mbps cable will be less on wifi.

only about 2 to 3 devices use the wifi so i don't think it will reduce the speed much. i atleast need to get 150 mpbs with the router i mentioned above
