   I think it connects a bit faster than that, but for sure if throughput   
   is your destination, a Pi zero isn't where you start.   
      
   My second one  is doing a sterling service and has saved me way more   
   than it costs by managing my central heating with some smarts.   
      
   My first runs a hifi system in one room, connecting to my media server
