If the only way to gain more throughput in AC (over N) is to increase the channel size, then there is no significant gain in AC.

To an extent. More range, more speed, beamforming.

But are you really gaining anything in the smaller channel sizes with AC in 2.4Ghz? I don't know the standard really well aside from it's obvious gains. The main things, AFAIK, that are beneficial from AC are the increased speeds and beamforming. I understand where beamforming is important. And better range.

It would be interesting to know what can be gained from 802.11ac in 2.4Ghz but the main argument I have heard against it is that there isn't enough spectrum.

        I can't attest to the accuracy, but I found this on the web a
        few years ago and saved it just for a question like this.

        Why is 802.11ac 5Ghz only?

        Is the 802.11ac spec only a 5 GHz spec or will we eventually
        see it in 2.4 Ghz?
