“I don't think the following statement is correct "Each access point provides a maximum data transfer speed of up to 6600 Mbps" I think collectively all the routers/access points have that much throughput but not an individual one.”

You are exactly correct. 6600 Mbps is a misrepresentation by 3 X 2200 Mbps. I personally saw a max speed of 348Mbps. Please read my review; this router is incompatible with select devices, including BAS Fans & Lights, as well as DropCam Pro (Nest Cam).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Each device is rated for 2200mb/s which is a maximum theoretical speed. The device connected directly to your modem will have the fastest speeds and the speeds on the other two devices will vary depending upon the distance from the device connected to your modem. This is a trio band router which means that each node has a 2.4ghz band and two 5ghz bands. One of the 5ghz bands is used for your household electronics and the other 5ghz band is dedicated to creating the mesh network between the routers. This helps provide a better opportunity of achieving the maximum theoretical speed of 2200mb/s of each router but it doesn't add the speeds together to make 6600mb/s. That is not possible. The maximum theoretical speed that can be obtained between the routers and from the routers to your devices is 2200mb/s. Also note, that in order to have even a remote possibility of obtaining the maximum theoretical speed from the router to your electronic device you will need for your electronic device to be capable of transferring data wirelessly at a rate of 2200mb/s.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You are correct. That is a theoretical maximum speed and or capacity. However that maximum speed does translate into the ability to have many devices connected to WiFi and each device getting enough speed and bandwidth to watch video on each device at the same time, as an example. That limit is not achievable for a single device connection. Technically you might get close to that maximum speed if you sum up the connections of many devices simultaneously, but that would be just an interesting experiment. The practical application that the maximum speed indicates is that many devices can connect to the system and they can all have a reliable and fast WiFi connection; this part I have tested and was very happy with my real world performance.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Ditto. I saw 420mbs
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think it would depend on if you made the connection a "Priority" connection. You are allowed 3 "Priority" connections that get the highest speed and we noticed a big difference in my computer when doing a speed test it was only about 20 to 25 Mbps without priority and about 50 to 60 Mbps when it was a priority. So take into consideration.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The maximum data transfer speed is all marketing talk. However, If you add up all of the possible connection types, yes, you get 6600 Mbps. Will you get that? Absolutely not. Seriously, who has a 6.6 Gbps internet connection? No one! Yes, they do make 10 Gbps NICs, but few people have those on their desktop computers or laptops.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is the aggregate speed of the complete set and how marketing likes to sell things, because bigger numbers mean better things, right? Really though, your available total WiFi speed depends on the backhaul you use for the nodes to talk to each other. When you use wireless mesh mode, the nodes use one of the two 5GHz networks to communicate, meaning that a theoretical 1267mbps is available for other devices on each node (2.4GHz at 400mbps and 5GHz at 867mbps). When you use wired mesh mode, the nodes have both 5GHz radios free, meaning you get two of those 5GHz connections at 867mbps a piece along with the 2.4GHz connection at 400mbps for a total of 2133mbps. Of course, you have to remember that you'll be dealing with network overhead and other factors, so the fastest speeds you can realistically expect over WiFi are around 500 mbps with 5GHz wireless AC and 230mbps on 2.4GHz wireless N.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is six antennas in each node and they can handle a lot of traffic.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I did check and each module is a tri band set-up. There are 2 each 5 GHz bands @ 867Mbps and a third 2.4 GHz band at 400 Mbps
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe I read that each access point was 2200 Mbps and therefore a 3 pack would yield a total of 6600 Mbps.
