Model: Deco BE85  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:
  • Supports all three 2.4GHZ, 5GHz & 6GHz Wi-Fi bands.  Using Broadcom chipset.

 

  • Only supports max channel bandwidth of 160MHz.  No 320MHz channel support.  In my opinion, this isn't a deal breaker as I would prefer a clean 6GHz band, low latency and low retransmissions rate.  Don't forget in Europe we only currently support one 320MHz channel on the 6GHz band, so would have to use a narrower channel bandwidth anyway to avoid adjacent channel interference with other 6 GHz access points.

 

  • Only currently supports Multi-Link Operation (MLO) - Enhanced Multi-Link Single-Radio mode (EMLSR).  The iPhone connects using two different Wi-Fi bands and only actively uses one of them and the second band is there for backup purposes.  I.e. 6GHz & 5GHz or 2.4GHz.

 

  • As per the Apple Wi-Fi specification document, the 'Maximum Phy data rate' is the same as Wi-Fi6E, so the max performance rate seen through testing will also be similar. I.e. approx. 1.5Gbps.

 

Please let me know if you find anything that I missed?
