Deco BE63, Deco BE63(1-pack), Deco BE63(2-pack), Deco BE63(3-pack)1Maker product pagetp-link.com/us/deco-mesh-wifi/product-family/deco-be63Read 14 October 2026The US page is titled Deco BE63 and Deco 7 Pro BE10000 and sells 1, 2 and 3 packs. The maker's support page lists hardware versions V1.60, V2.60 and V3.60. The UK and Australia sell a related model as Deco BE65, which publishes BE9300 with 5765, 2882 and 688 Mbps, so it is a different spec and is not an alias.

The FAQ says a separate band used only for backhaul is exclusive to the Orbi 970, and the datasheet says backhaul is shared 5 GHz and 6 GHz. So no radio is a dedicated backhaul. Streams, widths and link rates are in the datasheet, the manual and the Dong Knows Tech table.4Maker spec sheet (PDF)downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RBE772/RBE772_TS.pdfRead 23 October 2026Technical Specifications RBE772, document TS-RBE772-3: combined WiFi speeds of up to 11 Gbps and tri-band with 6 streams of WiFi, 6 GHz (2x2), 5 GHz (2x2) and 2.4 GHz (2x2).

Total 11000 Mbps. The manual rounds the 802.11be rates 4324 and 5765 Mbps.

Dedicated backhaul band: none, so all three bands are open to clients.13Reviewtomsguide.com/computing/routers/netgear-orbi-770-reviewRead 23 October 2026The review says the Orbi 770 transmits at 688 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, 4.32 Gbps on 5 GHz and 5.76 Gbps on 6 GHz, runs six concurrent streams and splits the backhaul between 5 GHz and 6 GHz instead of using a dedicated band.
