Netgear R7900

Overview
This is yet another artificially limited Costco exclusive model. In this case, the R7900 is a R8000 with 256QAM disabled on the three stream 2.4GHz radio limiting its maximum theoretical speed to 450Mbps instead of 600Mbps. Also, the USB 2.0 port was removed for the R7900.

While not really represented well in the infobox, this is a tri-radio device - all radios (2x 5GHz [an+ac], 1x 2.4GHz [bgn]) used are BCM43602 (FullMAC) is supported in the mainline Linux kernel by brcmfmac
