802.11ac is the latest Wi-Fi standard and is considered the successor to 802.11n. It offers improved speed, capacity and coverage, as well as enhanced performance in congested environments. It operates in the 5GHz band with 80MHz and 160MHz channels, allowing up to 1.3Gbps data rates. 802.11ac also features Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) technology, which allows multiple devices to be served simultaneously, increasing network efficiency.
802.11n is the previous generation of Wi-Fi technology, operating on the 2.4GHz band with 20MHz, 40MHz, and occasionally 80MHz channels. It is capable of up to 600Mbps data rates, but can suffer from interference due to the crowded nature of the 2.4GHz band. It also lacks MU-MIMO support, meaning only one device can be served at a time.
