Multiple WLAN interfaces can include at least one WLAN interface dedicated to network packets in compliance with IEEE 802.11ac and at least one WLAN interface dedicated to network packets in compliance with IEEE 802.11bgn. Responsive to a determination of a single station destination, a packet distribution index is determined for the network packet with respect to each of the multiple processing cores. The packet distribution index is based on at least whether a network packet is formatted according to IEEE 802.11ac or to IEEE 802.11bgn, among other factors. The network packet is processed by the processing core having the lowest packet distribution index.
