Blame Netgear for their awful mess of product designations please. Your product model is D7800, Nighthawk X4S is some marketing designation, and AC2600 is a summed-up total wireless capacity. Silly but true, Netgear does also have a product model AC2600 - and this is what is referred.

Not just Netgear. It is an industry wide malpractice to slap wifi "standards" on boxes to mislead customers. It doesn't help that those AC numbers of basically meaningless for most people.
The trouble comes when customers fail to see the model number on the box or on the label on the device itself.
Grrr.
Mine has both AC2600 and D7800 on the bottom of it!

True, however it' very unique that Netgear does _also_ make models with that misleading model_ designator. There are not only Rxxxx (Ethernet WAN routers), Dxxxx (xDSL WAN routers and modems), Cxxxx (Cable TV routers and modems) - but also models designated ACxxxx (as per industry malpractice) _and_ then the also ACxxxx designated AirCard mobile network routers. On top of that come the Nighthawk Xxy designators, where again the same are used for Ethernet WAN and xDSL WAN. In one word: Not standardisation - and this is management responsibility.
