Node count and the link between nodes decide coverage, never the headline number · review
A tri-band node quoting an area, a device count and a 4.2 Gbit/s badge, and describing itself as 3.5 times faster without ever saying faster than what.
The bottom line Sized clearly for a room and a device count, and silent on everything wired. As the first of two or three nodes it is a reasonable start; as the only unit in the house, the missing socket count is what to establish first.
A tri-band Wi-Fi 6 mesh node badged AX4200, up to 260 m² of coverage for more than 40 devices, 4.2 Gbit/s and a claim of 3.5 times faster, Intelligent Mesh described as removing dead spots and adding stability and bandwidth, parental controls that block content and limit time, app setup with a guest network, WPA2 with an SPI firewall and automatic firmware updates, HomeKit compatibility, and a three-year limited warranty with technical support.
AX4200 is a sum. Three radios, each with a theoretical peak the standard defines from its channel width and stream count, added together and rounded. It is a description of the box, not of a connection.
3.5 times faster is not a figure at all until the baseline is named. It is the one number on the page that cannot be checked against anything, because the thing it is compared with is absent.
260 m² and more than 40 devices come from the maker’s own assumptions about walls, ceilings and furniture. Read as a ratio against the other systems in this group they are consistent enough to be useful; read as a promise about your house they are not a measurement.
Every socket. A node sold as a 1-pack is the one that meets the modem, and neither the number of Ethernet sockets nor their speed is anywhere on this page.
Decide whether this is a first node or a whole system. As a first node the area figure is the useful one; as a whole system, ask for the socket count and the band split before spending on a second unit.
Priced from 84 € to 91 € across the French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores the day this page was checked.
The German Amazon price runs past 1.6× the cheapest store. A gap that size normally marks a reshipper and not a seller in the country, so that listing stays out of the range above.
In the British Amazon catalogue with no live offer against it: the reference exists, nobody is filling it.
The American Amazon store returned nothing at all, so the buy button there opens a search in that country rather than a page that would not load.

| Wi-Fi generation | Wi-Fi 6 — stated in the title and in the first two bullets |
|---|---|
| IEEE designation | Not published on the listing — the generation is named by number only, and no 802.11 letter pair appears in the title or in the five bullets |
| Stated class figure | AX4200 — stated in the title and written in the bullets as 4.2 Gbit/s. It adds the theoretical peaks of the three radios together; the listing gives no rate for any one of them |
| Band plan | Tri-band — stated in the title; the three frequencies are not named and the badge is not divided between them |
| Backhaul type | Not published on the listing — Intelligent Mesh is named as the technology and no radio is described as reserved for the link between units, nor is a wired link mentioned |
| Node count | One — stated in the title as a 1-pack |
| Pack composition | A single unit — stated; the listing describes the system as extending rather than naming the packs it extends with |
| Stated coverage area | Up to 260 m² — stated in the title and repeated in the second bullet, alongside a ceiling of more than 40 devices |
| Ethernet port count | Not published on the listing — the five bullets cover mesh, streaming, parental controls, app setup and security, and none of them counts a socket |
| Port speed | Not published on the listing — with no socket named, no wired speed is given |
| Separate WAN socket | Not published on the listing — nothing on the page identifies the socket the incoming line uses |
| Amazon reference | B0074JKH76 (same reference on 5 Amazon marketplaces) |
| EAN | 0745883809912 |
The thing it is faster than. A multiplier without a baseline can be measured against an older generation, against a particular rival, or against the same maker previous model, and each gives a different answer. The listing states the multiplier and never the comparison.
Only in the sense that it can become one. Bought singly it is a router; the mesh appears when a second unit joins it. That is why the socket count on the first unit matters — it is the one that takes the cable from the modem and probably the television as well.
Wi-Fi 7 · up to 14 Gbit/s stated · tri-band with 6 GHz · two nodes · 550 m² · seven internal antennas · no socket published
A two-node Wi-Fi 7 set that counts its antennas and its front-end modules and never counts an Ethernet socket.
Best for: A large home with Wi-Fi 7 clients and a wish for separate IoT and guest networks, where the wired side is handled by a switch elsewhere.
≈ £420 / 397 €
Wi-Fi 7 · BE11000 badge over 10 777 Mbit/s published · dedicated 6 GHz backhaul · four 2.5G sockets, one WAN · 110 m² stated
The most completely specified unit in this group: three band rates, a named backhaul, four multi-gigabit sockets — and a badge 223 Mbit/s larger than the figures printed beneath it.
Best for: A household on a multi-gigabit line that wants every socket faster than a gigabit and a 6 GHz lane kept clear between nodes.
≈ $150 / £150 / 144 €
Wi-Fi 6 · up to 3000 Mbit/s stated · two units · seven of eleven lines unpublished · made in Europe
A two-piece set from a well-known European maker whose listing runs on four bullets: a generation, a figure, an installation promise and a sentence about security.
Best for: A buyer who already trusts the maker and wants a mesh pair that will sit behind an existing provider box without an argument.
