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

• 600 Mbps - 3SS 2.4GHz 802.11n (40MHz chan., 256-QAM) = AC1900 class

Overview

Per the FCC test report...

• The device seems to be Broadcom based

(the testing utility is Manual Tool v2.0.1.0)

• The supporting WLAN AC card is stated to use BCM4360

Netgear requested FCC certification for the R7000 again on 12/17/2018 under PY318300420. This version has been internally redesigned, likely to cut manufacturing costs. Some minor components (RAM/FEM/etc.) may have changed but the same Broadcom chips are still used.
