I have information on the box:

The FCC photos clearly show two Nanya NT5CB64M16FP, which are 128MB each for total of 256.

Attached photo is from my box.

Beta sample info you see on the FCC site can differ from final product. This is from my experience as a beta tester.
 
NETGEAR Guy tracked down the answer:

R7500v2 is 512 MB
R7500v1 is 256 MB
 
Please report on your experience with the new Kong's firmware!!!
 
Please report on your experience with the new Kong's firmware!!!

Just replaced my Asus RT-AC66R with the R7500v2 and flashed the latest Kong build (12/2/2016), everything working great so far. MUCH better range through multiple walls in a "noisy" environment with many different WiFi signals than the AC66R. Going to miss Merlin's ASUS work, but so far the DD-WRT from Kong is excellent as well. Will update if anything changes or later on down the road if it keeps doing well.
 
Just a heads up. Using kong 11/14/16 r30880 as a repeater bridge. Working great!!! Will try 12/2/16 soon.
 
Netgear OEM firmware 1.0.3.4 latest have ipv6 problem with comcast. Netgear is working on a fix.
