The WiFi Speeds row labels the 2.4 GHz rate 802.11ax, but 688 Mbps is the 802.11be 2x2 4096-QAM rate at 40 MHz (802.11ax tops out at 574 Mbps there), and the datasheet and Dong Knows Tech both give Wi-Fi 7 on 2.4 GHz, so that radio is stored as Wi-Fi 7. The capacity row says 4 Streams and Dual-Band. 688 Mbps at 40 MHz and 4324 Mbps at 240 MHz each fit 2 streams, so 2 per band. The page's Advanced Features row also lists a 320 MHz channel, but the datasheet says 240 MHz, the unit has no 6 GHz band and the 4324 Mbps rate is the 240 MHz rate, so 240 MHz is stored. No band is a dedicated backhaul (Dong Knows Tech: none).2Maker spec sheet (PDF)tp-link.com/us/document/16072Read 14 October 2026Datasheet Deco BE25(US) V1.6: signal rate 4324 Mbps (5 GHz) + 688 Mbps (2.4 GHz).

The V2.6 datasheet and the press release print 11520 and 8640 Mbps, and Dong Knows Tech prints the same. The 802.11be rates for 4 streams are 11529 Mbps at 320 MHz and 8647 Mbps at 240 MHz, so the V3 page figures are stored. WiFi Capacity row: 4x4 MU-MIMO and 12 Streams, so 4 streams per band. The footnote says 320 MHz is only on 6 GHz and that 160 and 240 MHz may not be available on 5 GHz in some regions, so 240 MHz is the widest 5 GHz channel. Dong Knows Tech lists 20/40 MHz on 2.4 GHz, 20/40/160/240 MHz on 5 GHz and 20/40/160/320 MHz on 6 GHz. Every radio serves devices. A 6 GHz dedicated backhaul is an option in the app, so dedicated_backhaul is false.2Maker spec sheet (PDF)tp-link.com/us/document/19783Read 16 October 2026Datasheet Deco BE85(US) V2.6: Signal Rate 11520 Mbps (6 GHz) + 8640 Mbps (5 GHz) + 1376 Mbps (2.4 GHz), 12 Streams, 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n/ax/be, 5 GHz 802.11a/n/ac/ax/be and 6 GHz 802.11ax/be.
