This one is weird - see below - one side of the link is 11ac, but the other is 11n (5GHz) - AP is WRT1900acV2, client is Chromebook (CrOS 67 on stable channel)

ProTIP - network_diag --wifi from the CrOS Shell gives quite a bit of useful info)

I have an Intel 7260AC wireless card in my laptop. I have a 390/390 Mbps connection to my Cisco WAP371 AP. What should the rate be? I did add the Intel 7260AC card to this laptop as it had a slower card to start. I am viewing my network properties under Win10.

Under Windows - not sure - I try to be a Windows_Free zone as much as I can, and the one Winbox is wired...

I just thought it was interesting that under Linux (which ChromeOS is), that the Intel 7260AC actually split the standards between the uplink and downlink - 11ac assumes a balanced link between the up and downlinks. Note that the card wasn't splitting bands, just specs on the same channel.

Not sure how that applies back to your insight with Windows there - other than with WiFi, the WHQL has limited reporting back to the userland.
