• 975 Mbps - 3SS 5Ghz 802.11ac (64-QAM, 80MHz wide channel),

• 450 Mbps - 3SS 2.4Ghz 802.11n (64-QAM, 40MHz wide channel) = AC1450 class

Overview

• Wi-Fi Certified : WFA19989 (as of 07/02/2013)

• OEM: Foxconn (Ambit) U12H240T99

Specifications

Information, per Netgear's product page, follows...

• Netgear specifies the processor in this device as being

dual-core and clocked at 800MHz.

• The 11ac radio is limited to a maximum 975Mbps PHY rate..
• The device has two USB ports (1x USB 3.0, 1x USB 2.0).
• The device has Tx Beamforming support.

The FCC photos for this device show space for a single RAM chip..

which is a Samsung K4B1G1646G (128MB) in those photos.

However, Netgear's datasheet for the device notes

the device as having 256MB of RAM..

The Netgear AC1450 hardware is identical to the Netgear R6300 v2.

It is possible to convert this model to a R6300 v2 with a little effort.
