The ASUS logo, "PCE-AC66", and "REV: 1.40" is silkscreened
- on the board in the FCC photos.
The device is also pictured with an extremely large heatsink
- in these photos.
This card is 3x3:3 for both 802.11ac (max. 1300Mbps PHY rate)
- and 2.4GHz/5GHz 802.11n (max. 450Mbps PHY rate).
The internal Arcadyan model name for the device appears
- to be WN8222BAC-ASU (or maybe WN6222BAC-ASU).
