300 Mbps - 2SS 2.4GHz 802.11n (40MHz chan.) = AC1200 class

Overview

Most of the information on this page was copied from the TP-LINK RE450 since the TE7RE355 FCC entry is a change in ID request from TE7RE450. Netgear claims reduced 2SS speeds for the RE355 but it's not clear what technique they may have used to reduced the capabilities.
