Reviews
- "The only difference between the C5 v1 and C7 v1 is the 5GHz maximum
- link rate is limited to 867Mbps on the C5 vs. 1300 Mbps on the C7.
- The 2.4 GHz radio link rate isn't capped, so it will link at 217/450Mbps
- (20/40MHz bandwidth) when used with a 3x3 2.4 GHz client."
- On ProfesionalReview (in Spanish, photos of board)
