Hi,
I was able to sove this with Netgear support. Under Basic > Wireless go to the 5ghz band.
By default channel 44 is selected, we changed it to channel 60 and the intel 9560 wifi card now connects at 1.5gbps. I did not try any other channels to see what results they produced.

If the Intel 9560 requires the Intel SoC chipset but the Intel 9260 will word with some previous chipsets. Cheers
