Depending upon when your device was made, it may or may not support the latest and greatest. And even if it was made after those standards came out, it still may not support the latest and greatest. It depends upon what the manufacturer was willing to stick in it.
Look for things like 802.11n, 802.11ac, 802.11ax etc....

And lets not forget, WIFI operates at the speed of the slowest connected device so even if he has 5 of the latest greatest devices connected that one decades old tablet he gave the kids to entertain themselves with is dragging the whole thing down.
