• 300 Mbps - 2SS 5GHz 802.11n (40MHz chan.),

• 300 Mbps - 2SS 2.4GHz 802.11n (40MHz chan.) = AN600 class

Overview

This is a three radio device (11b/g/n, 11a/n, 11a/b/g/n [Air Marshall?]).

It would appear to be using Atheros silicon (AR9344 + AR???? (AR9382 / AR9582?) + AR9374?)Senao CAP4200AG ??

The FCC EUT has a MAC address starting with 00:18:0A. It's presumed to be used.
