Difference between Transmit (Tx) rate and Link Speed
I recently got a new router. I wanted to see what the speed is between my Macbook Pro and the router. I went to Option + Wireless (icon) on the top menu bar and it shows a Tx rate~1,053 Mbs. However, when I use the Network Utility App it shows a Link Speed of 304 Mbps. Obviously these are different metrics. What do they mean?
Also, they are both reporting on the same wireless band and the report more or less the same values every time I poll them.
Thanks for your insight!
