• 1733 Mbps - 4SS 5GHz 802.11ac (80MHz chan.),

• 450 Mbps - 3SS 2.4GHz 802.11n (40MHz chan.) = AC2200 class

Overview

• Web GUI: www.mywifiext.net

FCC documents also list the Netgear EX6400v2 and explain the differences as follows,

"The listed models are electrically and mechanically identical.

The intention of these models is only for RF output transmit antenna

(EX7300v2 2.4G: 4T4R; EX6400v2 2.4G: 3T3R) and different NETGEAR logo

(EX7300v2 has silver coating. EX6400v2 has no silver coating) purpose."

Despite retaining the AC2200 label of the first Netgear EX7300 in its marketing material,

FCC documents claim that the Netgear EX7300v2 can now support 600Mbps for

2.4GHz 802.11n which suggests that it implements four spatial streams.

One of those four spatial streams is presumed to be disabled and its corresponding

antenna removed in the Netgear EX6400v2.
