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

• 600 Mbps - 3SS 2.4GHz 802.11n (40MHz chan., 256QAM) = 1900 Mbps class

Max-Stream AC1900 MU-MIMO Gigabit Wi-Fi Router

Product page  • Support page (v1)  • Support page (v2)

• Wi-Fi Certified : WFA69539 (as of 01/03/2017)

Wi-Fi certificate claims 4SS for 802.11ac and 3SS for 802.11n.

Despite Linksys claims of only three-stream speeds, version 2.0 appears to be wired

up for four tx/rx chains with three external antennas and one internal antenna.

It may actually support four spatial streams and higher-than-advertised speeds.

RF Report NII at the FCC shows 4 transmit and 4 receive chains.

FCC documents also cover the AC1750 Linksys EA7400 v2 which supposedly

disables 256-QAM in 802.11ac to differentiate it for marketing purposes

although 256-QAM is likely disabled for 802.11n, not 802.11ac.
