• 300 Mbps - 2SS 2.4GHz 802.11n (40MHz chan.) = N300 class

Overview

"2021500144" and "Rev:1.0" is silkscreened on the board in the FCC photos.

• The Flash chip used may be a 8MB W25Q64BVSIG (or something like that).
• It would appear the device is using an Atheros AR934x WiSoC

(... or some other similarly specced WiSoC).

The manual states that the device is using..

• A MIPS32 network processor
• 64MB of DDR2 RAM

TP-LINK specifies the device has 4kV lightning protection..

hence the SafeStream designation.

The power supply shown in the FCC photos is a TP-LINK branded

T120100-2B1 (100-240VAC ~ 50/60Hz, 0.3A -> 12VDC, 1A).
