• 867 Mbps - 2SS 5GHz 802.11ac (80MHz chan.),

• 300 Mbps - 2SS 2.4GHz 802.11n (40MHz chan.) = AC1200 class

Overview

"U12H318 801780 GP REV.0" is silkscreened on the board in the FCC photos.

OEM: Foxconn U12H318. Radio chip IDs are not clear.

The MT7603EN is a guess based on similar devices of the time with a MT7621ST CPU.

DFS was added in a Class II Permissive Change on 11/30/2015
