It's a high-end couple-of-years-old Toshiba laptop sold in Japan. It'll be either N or AC. I believe the router does not offer anything slower on the 5GHz band. > > What is the Jessie system using--802.11a, b, g, n, or ac? As I stated in my original mail, it's wired, plugged into one of the AirStation's LAN ports.

The close match between theory and observation is suspicious though... Mark
