Model-specific installation notes
The advertised 2,402 Mb/s 5 GHz mode depends on 160 MHz support at both ends and a clean channel; the PHY label is not application throughput.
2 external antennas are shown in this model’s source documentation. Install only with the correct host connector and driver package; antenna placement, local regulation and access-point capabilities affect operation.
