"Not sure why its reporting wireless N (aka wireless 4 with max link of 600Mbs on 5ghz) as the AC in TP-Link AC1300 product indicates its wireless AC aka wireless 5"
Nor me. But there are many mysteries here:
The maker claims a max link speed of 400 Mbps on 2.4GHz. I've never been able to achieve even half that on 2.4GHz - 170 Mbps. My eventual guess was 400 Mbps was not a 'normal' link speed for 2.4GHz, but likely could be achieved with the right equipment. I imagine the Hub 2 2.4GHz Wi-Fi did not support the 'special' mode required and so I only ever got less than half the claimed 400 Mbps.
Then again, the driver in windows for the T3U seemed to report the (varying) link speed when on 2.4 GHz, but report the fixed chip capability (867 Mbps) when on GHz! I can only see the actual link speed on 5GHz by inspecting the Hub 2 Event log.
I always call if AC1300 - but really the model is Archer T3U - which, AFAIK, comes from adding together 400 Mbps + 867 Mbps and rounding up! 😁
The Archer T3U might not be completely adequate for someone using the highest FF speeds of +900Mbps, where a newer device would be better. But it is more than adequate for my 150Mbps service.
