    Limited to what?

    Maximum transmission power (EIRP) is limited but the limit differs between countries; in the EU it is 100mW.

    So what does that mean in practical terms? For example there are currently routers with AC5300, how high can that go within the limits of EIRP?

    Sorry I don't understand the question. Exactly what do you mean by "how high can that go"?

    If the max EIRP is 100mw, and "RP" means radiated power. Then apart from siteing the Tx antenna in a better position, the only other alternative is a more efficient reciever / antenna combination.

    I can tell you for a fact that my Asus Dual Band router has at least double the wireless range of the latest Virgin Superhub. It has 3 antenna rather than one. There are lots of dead spots in my house and garden using the Virgin wireless none using the Asus router.

    Well can AC5300 go to AC20000? As I said, what does the limit mean in practical performance terms?

    You are ignored an earlier post that attempted to answer that.

    I didn't ignore it. I read it and felt it did not answer my specific question.
    It's easy to throw numbers around, as in...

    ...but what does that mean in practical terms, relates to wifi speeds?
