The speed is actually negotiated between the router and the client device. But, that's not the end of the story - both my Surface Pro 3 and my wife's laptop connect at maximum 866.5Mbps, and that's when staying 2-3 fests apart from the router. So, the max speed of connection is limited to the max speed of the band I'm using. That's just for PR, in reality, it has one 2.4GHz band with max 600Mbps and two 5GHz channels, each supporting max 1300Mbps. My WiFi router is a Netgear Nighthawk R8000, which boasts a 3.2Gbps WiFi speed. I upgraded to an AC router, Surface Pro also has AC adapter, so why am I not seeing better speeds? I knew Surface 3 had some problems with low WiFi connection speeds when it was released, but since then Microsoft has released drivers and firmware updates that were supposed to fix the problem. I got puzzled last week by my Surface Pro 3, which usually connects at 60-90Mbps to my router, regardless of which band (2.4 or 5Ghz I choose).
