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


Overview

Most of the information on this page was copied from the Netgear R7000

since the FCC ID on the R6700's label is the same.

This router appears to be stripped down R7000 exclusively for Costco like

the Netgear AC1450 was.

Changes from the R7000 to this R6700 appear to be the removal of the USB

2.0 port and a claim of only N450 speeds at 2.4GHz instead of N600.

Description of Permissive Change document (dated 6/20/2014) at the FCC describing

what was changed from the R7000 to the R6700.

"This report is prepared for FCC class II permissive change.

The difference compared with the original design is as the following information:
  • There are board changes (depopulation), Firmware changes, Housing back panel
changes and documentation changes:
a. Remove USB 2.0 from the back. Depopulation from the current board
b. Remove support for 2.4G 256QAM
c. Change model name from R7000 to R6700
d. LED icon for USB 2.0 changed to Guest Wifi"
