Confusion with a mobo review

[BluJay614]

Okay, I know there are some that LOVE TweekTown. HOWEVER, in looking around for reviews of the ASRock Fatal1ty X370 Professional Gaming mobo(http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty X370 Professional Gaming/), I found their review (http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/8170/asrock-fatal1ty-x370-pro-gaming-motherboard-review/index.html) and found something unusual.

An Intel 3168NGW Wireless AC chip provides 433Mbps wireless-AC. An ICS 9VRS4883BKLF clock generator to provide BCLK adjustment ability.

At first that is all they say about the WiFi, untill.........

WIFI Card is 1x1: While everyone loves Intel's wired NICs, their 1x1 wireless AC card isn't that fast, and I was hoping that ASRock would upgrade it to 2x2.

What's funny about this, is according to the specs that ASRock has on their page, and on other reviews, such as

Nice to see is that AC dual-band WIFI module

I would like to know, did TweekTown give a bit of missinformation by claiming it was only single-band WiFi, or is everyone else wrong, and ASRock is committing false advertisement?

Bassiri was quite prominent before he started writing for Tweaktown, and he's been right about things other reviewers have been wrong about before. Tweaktown is poor at most things, but their motherboard hardware reviews are easily the most thorough.

 

If you're skeptical, you can read the model number of the card right off the picture. The 3168NGW is 433 Mbps. ASRock's own spec sheet also confirms this. I think you may be confusing dual band and 2X2?

It's possible that's where the confusion may be coming from.......
