Wi-Fi speed classiThe maker's class name, e.g. BE19000 or AXE11000. It adds up the top link rates of all radios. No single device reaches it. A Wi-Fi 6E class starts with AXE, also when the maker writes AX, so eero's AX5400 is AXE5400. The class is not the model number, so GL.iNet's GL-AXT1800 is AX1800.

The datasheet says 2x2 for both bands and the page prints no channel widths. An 802.11ax radio with 2 streams at 40 MHz has a link rate of 574 Mbps and at 80 MHz it has 1201 Mbps. The maker's 600 and 1200 are the rounded class figures, so 574 and 1201 are stored.

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. Parental controls counts when a free feature pauses or schedules internet access per person or device, such as eero Profiles, even when content filters need a subscription.
