Fam32, it depends on a lot of things. The theoretical maximum is 540Mb/s but most likely closer to 300Mb/s. What sort of service is your ISP providing? How close to the wifi hotspot is your iMac? How many devices are on your wifi network? What wifi can the other devices handle? 802.11ac or ???


The questions above can all affect the actual speed you may get via wifi on your iMac.


I hope this helps.
