In this paper, performance of WLAN (Wireless LAN) for peer-peer and client-server networks with WPA-2 security is investigated for both IEEE802.11ac and IEEE802.11n standard. Parameters studied include throughput, and RTT (round trip time) of IPv4 and IPv6 protocols for both TCP and UDP. IPv4 outperform IPv6 in terms of bandwidth and delay due its lower overhead size. IEEE 802.11ac had much better performance than IEEE 802.11n.
