sizable antenna
Hmm... what is a sizable antenna? 5GHz band (5.2-5.8GHz) dipole antenna is about 1 inch long. Asus router antennas are 1/2 plastic for show.
Try calculating that again!
Ever open a laptop?
Asus rubber ducky yet they are probably two wave antenna
This is why Meshing is a big deal - the bigger & "louder" your wifi bubble, the "less loud" the neighbours are to your client devices. (unless there's channel interference, but that's not as common on the 5GHz band)close to the router and in a quiet Wi-Fi environment.
if you've 100dB of signal from 3 meshed radios and your neighbours are at 20dB
I use an RT-AX86U and usually see 1.7gbs/sec (real measured throughput) when connecting from my -AC notebook and -AX smartphone.
The actual or accurate numbers were irrelevant in my example for conceptual purposes.It more like -40dBm vs -80dBm or below. "Meshing" with wireless shared backhaul is cutting the throughput on half. Strong signal won't help much.
The size of an antenna is related to, but not limited by, wavelength. Many successful antennas have multiple wavelength dimensions (think Yagi, log-periodic, parabolic reflector, ...).Hmm... what is a sizable antenna?
The inside of an ASUS external antenna looks a lot like a J-pole. The two elements are not the same length.I have not cut open an Asus rubber ducky yet they are probably two wave antenna. It's just a piece of copper wire in a laptop and probably the same in a rubber ducky.
The Intel AC-9260 can also. I have replaced Killer 1535 WiFi cards in my Dell XPS netbook and laptop with this card. These connect at 1.7gbs/sec on 5GHz.The client device is going to be a major factor in achieving a fast transfer as it must have a fast card and sizable antenna. A laptop with Intel's AX-200 or newer can do this.

None of those is used in the tech we are talking about.
Link speed yes, only on 160MHz wide channel. Not throughput.
I hit about 1.2 Gb throughput between my laptop with an Intel AX-200
