450 Mbps - 3SS 2.4GHz 802.11n (40MHz chan.),
1300 Mbps - 3SS 5GHz 802.11ac (80MHz chan.) = AC1750 class

Overview

"2012/12/17 G", "48SAB402.SCE", and addl. PCB manuf. text (date code of 1251, Dec. 2012) is silkscreened on the board in the FCC photos. A MAC label affixed to the Ethernet ports indicates usage of a 00:25:9C OUI, which seems unlikely.

This device has a single USB 3.0 port and a single USB 2.0 port.

Configuration with Belkin-Linksys's utility may confer a SSID pattern typical of the Cisco Connect software.
