What is the (rough) speed(mbps) of a slow/medium/fast print on a ramps 1.4?

Hey folks!
I am considering setting up octoprint on a raspberry pi and was wondering how fast i need the wifi dongle to be. So...anyone know roughly what the mbps of a slow/medium/fast print on a ramps 1.4 would be? my printers pretty basic so its going to be on the slow to mid range for the most part anyway. Thanks!

ramps is serial (over usb) most are 250000 baud so 0.25 mbps. (maximum)

The raspberry pi usually receives the gcode file complete and then it drip feeds it to the printer, so its not drip feeding gcode over wifi (which would be unreliable at best). So unless its the transfer time to the raspi you want to optimise, in one sense it doesn't really matter how fast the wifi dongle is.

Other software for the raspi might do things differently but thats how octoprint works.
