V1 is the AC1200 Deco S4. This product is the AC1900 hardware, which the US support pages list as V3.26, V3.46 and V3.60. The datasheets give the model as Deco S4 and name the 1, 2 and 3 packs Deco S4 (1-pack), (2-pack) and (3-pack).

The maker's US support page lists hardware versions V1, V2 and V3, with a datasheet for each. The three datasheets state the same specs, and the V2 and V3.6 files are identical. The chip, CPU and every measured value in this file come from reviews of the original V1 hardware. TP-Link also sells a Deco XE5300 3-pack, an AXE5300 system with a 516 Mbps 2.4 GHz rate, which is a different spec and is not an alias.

The listing has one ASIN for several hardware versions and lists three Deco S4R units in the box, so its hardware facts are not used. It lists two UPCs (840460605014 and 845973089726), which cannot be tied to one version, so no GTIN is stored.

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 page names 3x3 MU-MIMO and 3 internal antennas, so 3 streams are stored for both bands. The page prints no channel width.

Capacity: 2x2 MU-MIMO and 6 Streams, so 2 streams per band. 574 Mbps at 40 MHz and 2402 Mbps at 160 MHz are both 2 streams. The 6 GHz band is Wi-Fi 6E and the other two radios are Wi-Fi 6. Dong Knows Tech lists 20/40 MHz on 2.4 GHz and 20/40/80/160 MHz on 5 and 6 GHz. It says 6 GHz is the default backhaul and the system falls back to the other bands, and the 6 GHz band also serves devices, so no radio is a dedicated backhaul.2Maker spec sheet (PDF)tp-link.com/us/document/14968Read 15 October 2026Signal Rate: 2402 Mbps on 6 GHz + 2402 Mbps on 5 GHz + 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz.

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.
