Help, which wifi adapter is faster?

Solution
The Cisco/Linksys adapter looks like it supports 2 streams, The TP-Link looks like it supports 1 stream. But the TP-Link supports ac in 5 GHz, where the Cisco/Linksys only supports n in 5 GHz.

The TP-Link is faster _only_ when operated on a ac network using 80 MHz wide channels. Otherwise the Cisco/Linksys adapter is faster because of the dual streams (versus a single stream on the TP-Link adapter).

This assumes that the access point (or router) supports 2 or more streams.
