• 4804 Mbps - 4SS 5GHz 802.11ax (160MHz chan., 1024-QAM),

• 1148 Mbps - 4SS 2.4GHz 802.11ax (40MHz chan., 256-QAM) = AX6000 class

Overview

Netgear refers to this device as AX6000 capable but the FCC test report documents only claim up to 1150+2402 (AX3500) since only HE80 channel bandwidths are currently supported. Netgear will probably issue a Class II Product Change Request at a later date to add 160 MHz channels allowing it to claim to be AX6000.
