Question

Does Model: XR700 support 802.11ac wave2 2x2 160 MHz so I can get the 1.73 Gbps wifi support? I have a 1 gb sync fiber connection and I replaced the WiFi cards in our laptops to&nbsp;Killer™ Wireless-AC 1550&nbsp;802.11ac wave2 2x2 160 MHz&nbsp;1.73 Gbps chips and I want to monopolize on it if I can.&nbsp;

The XR700 and the R9000 share the same basic&nbsp;platform, radio drivers, and radio firmware. Earlier this year there was a limitation on HT160 being workable on 3x3 only, but not on 2x2 (implemented on&nbsp;Intel AC9260, Intel AC9560,&nbsp;or Killer STA).&nbsp;Altsai&nbsp;please provide the details of the current status.

Yes, XR700 supports wave2 (160MHz).

So the former limitation we had on 160 MHz with only 3x3 is no longer applicable to the R9000, too?
