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

• 450 Mbps - 3SS 2.4GHz 802.11n (40MHz chan.) = AC1350 class

• 1.3 Gbps PHY rate HomePlug AV2 (1.8-86 MHz frequencies) = PL1300 class

Overview

Sold as part of the TP-LINK TL-WPA8630 KIT which includes this TL-WPA8630 and a TP-LINK TL-PA8010P

Web Management: http://tplinkplc.net

Datasheet only claims up to 300Mbps for 2.4 GHz and the device only has two antennas so Radio1 is likely limited to two streams in operation despite 3x3:3 support from the QCA9563.
