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

• 1300 Mbps - 3SS 5GHz 802.11ac (80MHz chan.) = AC1750 class

Overview

Other board revisions appear to have a different SoC! Likely changed by Netgear due to jitter and latency issues associated with the cable modem side of the Puma 6. Some modems use a Broadcom BCM33843 SoC instead. This was verified by removing the main heatsink. The board in the images also appears to be a BCM33843 board, due to the silkscreen markings on an unpopulated serial header on the underside of the PCB.

It's using a CUS223 802.11ac module.
