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).
