Throughput refers to the actual speed of data transfer between devices, which is often lower than the rated speed or bandwidth due to various factors such as distance, interference, and network congestion. Therefore, the device may be rated at 200 Mbps, but the actual speed it can deliver to your smartphone is only 34 Mbps, which is the throughput in this case.
