Just to add... the AP's redio sensitivity also comes into play... It depends also on what the client and AP negotiates their modulation at.

for example a 3700:

◦-91 dBm @ 6 Mbps

◦ -91 dBm @ 9 Mbps

◦ -91 dBm @ 12 Mbps

◦ -90 dBm @ 18 Mbps

◦ -87 dBm @ 24 Mbps

◦ -85 dBm @ 36 Mbps

◦ -80 dBm @ 48 Mbps

◦ -79 dBm @ 54 Mbps
