There's more to wireless than just the letter used (n/ac). There are wireless-n cards that will only ever hit maybe 70Mbit on a good day.
It's because wireless-n onwards can make use of what are literally multiple antennae to get additional speeds. Usually you'll see something like "1x1" or "2x2" to indicate the number of up/down links available. You might have to find your wireless card and google to find out.
