Technological developments in wireless networks and the development of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) in particular, enabled the provision of services similar to wired networks, which until a few years ago wasn’t possible. The new standards of the IEEE 802.11 protocol family provide speeds that exceed 1 Gbps and can support multiple users with multiple connections at the same time. This diploma thesis aims at presenting the basic features of IEEE 802.11 family protocols, as well as the principles of their operation. It focuses on comparing the IEEE 802.11ac protocol with its predecessors, presenting its design and operating mode. An experiment was carried out, where multiple measurements were made on different equipment and using various wireless networking protocols. Comparative results between equipments and protocols are presented and analyzed. This effort has led to a better understanding of wireless networks and has contributed to the development of skills enabling the comparison and evaluation of wireless systems and technologies. During the experiment, measurements were taken with equipment that did not support the IEEE 802.11ac protocol in all participating devices; however, our measurements were taken normally, since the goal was to measure and compare the protocols rather than the devices. In this study, the IEEE 802.11ac protocol was evaluated in terms of coverage map, signal strength, packet loss and delay and throughput. Then a comparison was made with analogous measurements of the IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n protocols. The use of measurement software played an important role as it is an additional burden on the measurement system. The final conclusion is that the results are very different, depending on the place and the conditions of application. Differentiation was also observed, with the same parameters and conditions, in the same space, in the same scenario, depending on the Access Point that was used. In addition to the operating protocol, the hardware part plays an important role in the wireless network's performance.
