You're only telling me things I already know.
I qualified my statement by saying on maximum settings.

That's a spurious argument as it's environment dependent. It might be the case it might not.

You're off your rocker and really need to read this:

I think you're confusing downlink speed vs total throughput (downlink + uplink).

The 433Mbps link rate doesn't come into it really, unless transferring data point to point, as the limiting factor here on 5Ghz is going to be the 100Mbps ethernet ports. So real world throughput average speeds will always be no more than 75-85Mbps, with peak at 95Mbps, regardless of any wifi link rates.

Like I said, doesn't matter because of ethernet. Btw, in the smallnetbuilder link I posted above the AC433/866/1300 clients connected to the AC1300 router were getting no more than 20-30% throughput on downlink. I was being generous.
