Mesh backhaul band is dynamic, so no radio is a dedicated backhaul. Stored 2402 Mbps for both 160 MHz radios, the 802.11ax rate for 2x2 at 160 MHz. The review's 5400 Mbps total fits 574 + 2402 + 2402. Conflicts: Tom's Guide says only a single 5 GHz 160 MHz channel is usable, and the UK, Australia and Canada store pages say AXE4200, which would fit one 160 MHz band and one 80 MHz band. The US maker page says AXE5400.

It prints no per-band streams or channel widths. The only split that gives 4 streams in total is 2 streams on each band: 574 Mbps is 2 streams at 40 MHz on 2.4 GHz (4 streams would need a 20 MHz channel and leave none for 5 GHz) and 1201 Mbps is 2 streams at 80 MHz on 5 GHz (1 stream at 160 MHz would make the total 3). Expert Reviews confirms 2x2 MIMO and no 160 MHz support on the 5 GHz radio.

Wi-Fi featuresiFeatures the maker names for the product. Band steering puts all bands under one network name and moves devices between them, e.g. Smart Connect. Band steering over only some of the bands, such as 2.4 and 5 GHz on a tri-band router, counts. AFC is Automated Frequency Coordination, which allows standard power on 6 GHz.

The client model, firmware and band are not named. The review's spec box labels the 15 ft figure as peak performance.

Satellite rows come from the older method: a satellite a floor above the router with the receiving system '50-feet farther away' gave 294.5 Mbps, a satellite 40 ft from the router with the test station 'another 50-feet away' on the same floor gave 65.5 Mbps, and a second satellite downstairs with a system 40 ft away gave 150.5 Mbps.
