The reception sensitivity table gives the widest channel per band: 40 MHz on 2.4 GHz (EHT40), 160 MHz on 5 GHz (EHT160) and 320 MHz on 6 GHz (EHT320). The footnote says 320 MHz is only on 6 GHz. Streams per band follow from the rates: 1032 Mbps at 40 MHz is 3 streams of 344 Mbps, 2882 Mbps at 160 MHz is 2 streams and 5764 Mbps at 320 MHz is 2 streams. The sum of 7 matches the maker's 7 streams.
