Netgear R6250 falsely advertised?

I recently bought a Netgear R6250, and according to the box and the Netgear website it is supposed to have 256MB of RAM.

However, when I telnet into the router (courtesy of telnetable.py) and run 'cat /proc/meminfo' only 128MB shows up.

dmesg also reports 128MB of RAM. As does free, top, etc.

I could understand if each radio had its own integrated CPU with dedicated RAM, but my understanding is the R6250 is not like that.

So, my question is where's the other 128MB?
