“I'm comparing with the ASUS RTAX86U specs. This router shows 2x2.4 streams and 4x5.0 streams whereas the ASUS shows only 1 stream each. This according to specs per BB page. First, is this correct for each? Second, does it matter?”

It depends. Usually when they release a new version of Wifi, they just add more bonded channels. 20Mhz, 40Mhz, 80Mhz and so on. I think 5Ghz supports 160Mhz, so each antenna is 40Mhz. 2.4Ghz I think only supports up to 40Mhz. A 5Ghz 160Mhz wide signal will have excellent speed and throughput.... if you live in a lead bunker or in the country. A 5Ghz 20Mhz wide signal will have consistent, no frills coverage. But, the range will be smaller. For me, it's about 20-30 feet.
