What is the theoretical max speed of Wi-Fi of Nighthawk M1 ?

I wonder what is the theoretical max speed of WiFi connection for this device? Technical sub-questions: - how many wifi streams it uses ? - what modulation it uses ? I can't get more than 86...

Hi,
I use ASUS PCE-AC88 network card that theoretically offers 2100Mbps on the 5GHz band :)

I can't find any official detailed tech specification of Netgear M1, but it looks like it uses for WLAN 2x2mimo

So, with ethernet conenction up to 500Mbps and Wi-Fi connection up to 867 Mbps it is not possible to reach theoretical LTE speed 1Gbps ;)
