That’s correct, 802.11AD is a new standard for in room wireless for attaching accessories and things. It does not penetrate walls and propagate far because of the super high frequency range it uses but the in room idea is a cool one. Mainly meant for use with virtual reality gear as I understand it.

Thanks. I'm seeing a lot of cards on amazon that are 802.11AC what is that?
It's the faster, and better, successor standard to 802.11n.
Devices are backward-compatible with 802.11n access points, thus I would recommend buying an 802.11ac adapter so that you don't have to upgrade it when you start using 802.11ac access points.
At home, I have a router running OpenWRT, which supports 802.11ac, as do some of my newer devices.
