1300 Mbps - 3SS 5GHz 802.11ac (80MHz chan.),
450 Mbps - 3SS 2.4GHz 802.11n (40MHz chan.) = AC1750 class

Overview

"2050500332" is silkscreened on the main board in the FCC photos.

"2052500400" is silkscreened on the wireless module.
The same text is silkscreened on the v1's board.

The firmware is shared between v2 and v3, presumably the hardware is very similar.

Wi-Fi Certified : WFA53887 (as of 06/26/2014)
