Confusing/conflicting technical specifications on the RAX75 specifications page...?

On the RAX75 technical specifications page (https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/rax75.aspx)

Under the "WIFI TECHNOLOGY" section it says:

2.4GHz AX: 4x4 (Tx/Rx) 256 QAM 40MHz, up to 920Gbps

and then when you click "SHOW ALL TECH SPECS" and scroll down to the section "STANDARDS" it says

2.4GHz AX: 4x4 (Tx/Rx) 1024 QAM 40MHz, up to 1.2Gbps

Which is correct? Does anyone know?
Thanks!

In case they make 920 Gb/s om 2.4 GHz I am going to take some 8-)))))

 

The RAX75 is a software-wise "scaled down" variant of the RAX80 - the 2.4 GHz AX interface is limited to 256 QAM, so  "only" 0.92 Gb/s - and intended for specific sales channels like Costco. 4.8 + 0.92 makes 5.7 or AX5700.

The "2.4GHz AX: 4x4 (Tx/Rx) 1024 QAM 40MHz, up to 1.2Gbps" is wrong, and applies to the RAX80 only.

 

The "2.4GHz AX: 4x4 (Tx/Rx) 256 QAM 40MHz, up to 920Gbps" is also wrong - it should be "2.4GHz AX: 4x4 (Tx/Rx) 256 QAM 40MHz, up to 0.920Gbps".

 

Netgear's CHT marketing is as poor as Netgear's CHT engineering and QA.

Hello hctb,

 

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I have notified the team to have this corrected. The correct information is listed below: 

 

2.4GHz AX: 4x4 (Tx/Rx) 256-QAM 40MHz, up to 920Mbps

5GHz AX: 4x4 (Tx/Rx) 1024-QAM 160MHz, up to 4.8Gbps

 

Regards,

Christian

On the very last page of the .pdf user manual from the product page, the listed WIFI signal rate as 1.2Gbps for 2.4GHz 1024 QAM 40MHz. 

Is this also incorrect?

@chedogg yes, as stated above:

 

The "2.4GHz AX: 4x4 (Tx/Rx) 1024 QAM 40MHz, up to 1.2Gbps" is wrong, and applies to the RAX80 only.
