That is D7800 not R7800... D7800 is modem/router but R7800 is just a plain router.
The product category of being AC2600 or AC3000 etc is the total wireless speed (2.4 +5Ghz band) your device is capable of but it doesnt mean there is just 1 model in that category.AC1750 example has 3 models (R6700, R6300 or R6400).
To know more about your model you may check the User Manual or the Datasheet on what the specs and features.
