Sorry, couldn't find a discussion thread on this article:

My router needs replacing and I thought, to go with the new router, I'd get a new Intel AC 9260 wireless adapter for my Dell laptop, which claims up to 1733 Mbps:

Now I'm assuming that this is on the 5GHz band and they don't mention the 2.4GHz band but according to the article, if it's 600Mbps the device is AC2350 and will only get 1733 link rate with an AC2350 router (600+1733) but not an AC2600 router (800+1733).
So I get why an AC2350 (600+1733) client won't link at 1733 with, say, an AC3200 router (600+1300+1300) but why not with an AC2600 router (800+1733)? What am I missing?
