Initially, the 5 GHz radio will be limited to 1,733 Mbps. The proprietary extension (1024-QAM support) to enable MCS10 and MCS11 and rates up to 2,166 Mbps will
be introduced in a later SW release. Please check SW release notes for this upgrade. With 1,733 Mbps, the aggregate peak numbers drop to 2.5 Gbps (dual-radio) and
3.5 Gbps (dual-5 GHz).
