802.11ac (also known as Wi–Fi 5) is the newest version of the Wi–Fi standard, offering faster speeds and wider coverage than the previous 802.11n (Wi–Fi 4). The main difference between these two standards is the speed: 802.11ac is up to three times faster than 802.11n. Additionally, 802.11ac operates on a wider channel bandwidth (up to 160MHz), has more spatial streams (up to 8, compared to 4 in 802.11n), and supports MU–MIMO (Multi User– Multiple Input/Multiple Output), allowing it to connect to multiple devices simultaneously.
