Nighthawk X6 - AC3200 Smart WiFi Router

Product page • Support page

While not really represented well in the infobox, this is a tri-radio device - all radios

(2x 5GHz [11an+ac], 1x 2.4GHz [11bgn]) used are BCM43602 (FullMAC)

BCM43602 is supported in the mainline Linux kernel by brcmfmac

"U12H315T20", "801726", and "GP REV 1" is silkscreened on the board.
