11ac wireless question


[link to this post]
 
Does anyone know if 11ac wireless is only effective if all devices on the network use it? I have a new ac enabled laptop connecting to my BT HH5 at 430Mbs but when I switch on my much older laptop the speeds at both machines are 72Mbs(old one) and 130Mbs (new one). I suspect that the new laptop is using the 5GHz band but not the ac option and the old laptop 2.4, as it always does. I do have an ac dongle for the older machine but lent it to a friend to try out - I didn't think that my newer connection would be affected though. The speeds quoted are router to wireless card of course, in the same room as the Hub.
