| 300Mbps vs 5ghz dual band?
When I bought my router 2 years ago, the sales told me not many devices support anything higher than 150Mbps N draft, so I bought a 300Mbps router, expecting something will reach that speed few years down the road. My old ip4, my nettop, Asus Transformer Prime, Xbox360 slim are all 150 supposingly.
Nowaday the ip5 supports dual band(802.11ac), I know my router can't support it, but just wonder is there any device out there operate at 40mhz (the N-draft dual channel mode)? am I not making any sense here?

i'm also curious as to if band width and range are inversely proportional, which may defeat the purpose if your router is far away

your not going to get anywhere near 300Mbps... unless you get the worlds fastest internet connection and also the web server also needs to have tons of bandwidth...

the 300mbps is theoretical, you will no way get close to it.
Also, the 300mbps is only between your LAN. Not your internet. Your internet connection is limited by what your Internet Service Provider gives you. Which is no where close to 300mbps either.

We do have some customers who have this service and it is really good. But you are right about the web server part though.
EDIT forgot add that some routers say the are Gb but actually only for internal networks so you need one that's for external as well.

I don't think there are any electronics that do. I use 5Ghz 300mbps 40mhz connection but only on my laptop.

Not quite sure the max speed of a normal n-draft router can transfer, I am expecting more than this.
EDIT: found this benchmark online 
theoretically, 300Mbps is double the speed of 150Mbps, assume 35Mbps is the max of 150, then 300 should do 70Mbps? but it seems like we are approaching 802.11ac instead of high speed 802.11n

300mbps real world speed is around 100mbps. That's what I can transfer on wireless to my laptop from my NAS in the same room.

OP lives in Hong Kong. He can easily get 300M+ internet speed or even 1G.
But how realistic it is to 1G....I have no idea three.com.hk 3G
1G: $389 / $243 monthly
500M: $269 / $203 monthly
200M: $219 / $183 monthly
Exchange rate is appx. 1 CAD to 8 HKD....so you're looking at less than $30 CAD a month for 1G fiber internet at home.

My unlimited LTE 4G plan hits 40Mbps indoor, it's depressing to see Wifi gets 35Mbps only.

The with the data transfer speeds over wi-fi it also needs to take in account the error rates and interference.
More likely for prices to come down, the infrastructure over here needs to be up to data as we are still behind. Also the cost of changing out all the wiring and the distance to cover the customers is a lot further and scattered in comparison to other countries which is smaller and more dense, therefore would be able to change faster as well.
