Looking at the specs, I don't exactly know too much about the wifi acronyms. 

 

What do the various letters mean 802.11a/b/g/n/ac , if anything in particular?

Means the different wifi channels it can use.

Just different wifi standards. The only two you'll really use today are n (2.4Ghz) and ac (5Ghz)

The letters are the standards created by the IEEE. A for instance uses 5 Ghz and has a max speed of 54Mbps. b uses 2.4 Ghzs and has a max speed of 11 Mbps. g uses 2.4 Ghz and has a max speed of 54 Mbps. n is a funny standard. It can be single or dual band 2.4 and or 5 Ghz. N speeds vary from 150 Mbps to 450 Mbps. Now we get to AC which is the current standard. It uses 2.4 and 5 Ghz and has max speed over a gigabit. The fact is most WiFI cards and router will support the older standard. So if you have an other router a new card should be able to connect or if you have an older wireless card it can connect to the newer devices. 

 

In reality Wireless AC is what standard you want. Its the most current and the fastest. Most dual band devices they take the speeds the 2.4 Ghz band can do and what the 5 Ghz band can do and add them together. For example I have a N 750 router. It can do 300 Mbps on 2.4 Ghz and 450 Mbps on 5Ghz.

Thanks, that basically explains every question I had ^^
