• 1300 Mbps - 3SS 5GHz 802.11ac (80MHz chan.),

• 450 Mbps - 3SS 2.4GHz 802.11n (40MHz chan.) = AC1750 class

Overview

• The main board would appear to be the same used by the D-Link DIR-862L rev A1.

A QCA9558 WiSoC, which this 3-stream b/g/n device is presumed to be using,

could possibly be used for both the 862L (dual-stream b/g/n) and the 863.

The 863L uses two serial Flash ICs (one spot is unpopulated on the 862L), possibly 32 MB in total.

There also appears to be an unpopulated spot on the board for a NAND Flash IC.

• "21514D5500A17A1", a date code of 1322, a lead-free logo, and "Ver:A1"

is silkscreened on the wireless module in the FCC photos.

The IC used is not shown, but it's assumed to be the same as the 862L's..

as the same board appears to be used.

Two marked antennae are shown - "PCA-2825-A1" is on one, "PCA-2010-" + "A14" is on another
