The support page lists the US datasheet and user guide as V1.6. Other regions sell a Deco BE25 with BE3600 rates (2882 Mbps on 5 GHz, 160 MHz) from different hardware, for example Poland, Australia and the UK listings. Those are not stored here.

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.

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. Support that needs a later firmware counts, and the firmware goes in the source note.

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