This is not an AD router. That said, 802.11AD range tops out at 10 meters and is not seen in many devices right now. Unless you are transferring large quantities of data from one wireless device to another on your same network, you probably wouldn't see any benefit to AD anyways as AC has sufficient throughput for any gaming or streaming services currently available (your internet service is generally the limiting factor here).

The Velop supports 802.11ac. The bandwidth is the total for all connected devices. Remember, that most devices connected can only use up to 108mb and you also have the limits of your broadband provider. More bandwidth on the wireless system does no good for WAN access past the speed of your broadband service.
