Netgear R8300


 * • 2x 2165 Mbps - 2x 4-stream 802.11ac device (80MHz 5GHz, 1024QAM),
 * • 1x 600 Mbps - max. PHY rate 802.11n (40MHz 2.4GHz, 64QAM) = 5000 Mbps class


 * 802.11ac Tri-Band Quad Stream Gigabit

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 BCM4366 (FullMAC)

This is an artificially limited Costco exclusive model.
 * In this case, the R8300 is a R8500 with NitroQAM (1024QAM) and TurboQAM (256QAM)
 * disabled on the four stream 2.4GHz 802.11n radio limiting its maximum theoretical
 * speed to 600Mbps instead of 1000Mbps. Also, the USB 2.0 port was removed for R8300.
