• 1300 Mbps - 3SS 5GHz 802.11ac (80MHz chan.),

• 450 Mbps - 3SS 2.4GHz 802.11n (40MHz chan.) = AC1750 class

Overview

The User Manual shows a label image with the FCC ID

of PY326200344 but this ID is invalid.

The correct FCC ID appears to be PY316200344 which is shared

with the Netgear R6800 and the Netgear R6900v2.

This device was under short-term confidentiality, but that expired 7/11/2017 ⚠.

DFS support was added in a C2PC request to the FCC on 10/30/2017.
