Each band is 2x2 on the Qualcomm Networking Pro 620 platform, six streams in total. The rates fit 2 streams at 240 MHz on 5 GHz and 2 streams at 320 MHz on 6 GHz. 40 MHz is the widest 2.4 GHz channel.

Network featuresiFeatures the maker lists that work without a paid subscription. An IoT network is a separate network for smart home devices. Dual WAN uses a second internet connection as a backup or to share the load. Only features the maker clearly says are free.

When the maker's pages contradict each other, leave the feature out.
