Netgear R7000



Per the FCC test report...
 * The device seems to be Broadcom based
 * (the testing utility is Manual Tool v2.0.1.0)


 * The supporting WLAN AC card is stated to use BCM4360

Netgear requested FCC certification for the R7000 again on 12/17/2018 under PY318300420. This version has been internally redesigned, likely to cut manufacturing costs. Some minor components (RAM/FEM/etc.) may have changed but the same Broadcom chips are still used.
