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

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 866.5Mbps, so it looks like it uses 2 streams for 802.11ac and 80mhz bandwidth. With 256 modulation it gives theoretical 867Mbps

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 😉
