Keep in mind the following rules of physics !... 802.11n = 802.11n , 20mhz channel = 20mhz channel.
Rocket M (5ghz) and Epmp 1000 (5ghz) are both the same class of product, so for a given link, for the sake of a paper exercise, one would expect very similar results. Yes it can be argued that one can possibly eek out something better.. so let's give it a +/- 10-20% difference between same class of product from different mfg (just to avoid a flame thread). Now, if you were to replace 802.11n with a 802.11ac product, then your results can be very different (key word .. 'can')... What does this 'Can' depend on ? it is your SNR, for the particular link. To cut a long story short... if on your link you are able to achieve a SNR of higher than 25, then you will see a HUGE difference in performance gain by replacing 802.11n radio with a 802.11ac radio......... Now if your SNR is 20 or below.. then you might not see much performance gain..... Having said that.... Yes there are other things that can be done to impact the SNR increase the gain... (bigger dishes).. or reduce the noise floor (shielding, better antenna etc). in 802.11ac radios.. you have lots of good choices... >From Ubnt. Rocket AC lite is not to shabbily priced. from Mimosa .... you have C5c (you need to download the PTP firmware from their portal site, to put them in PTP mode.. ) You can also go with some more expensive radios.... such as Gen2 AC or B5c etc. Regards.
