More likely, for cost and physical size. With mesh, range is less important.I'm guessing they stuck with 2x2 radios, as that may have required less re-coding of the firmware/software stack.
Yes. 4 stream radio on U-NII-3 band (chans 149-165)"Wi-Fi 6 tri-band concurrent 2:2:4 (802.11ax)"
Wouldn't this indicate 2x2 on 2.4 and 5.2 and 4x4 on 5.6?
My initial reply mentioned backhaul throughput; nothing regarding range. Not sure what that mention was referring to?With mesh, range is less important.
