Where can I find the Antennae Radiation Patterns (Smith charts) for these units for installation purposes?

Never seen one here.

Are the patterns circular, oval, or ?

For simplicity - take it as circular for these wall- or overhead-mounted APs.

and the radial coverage? Are they 10m, 20m or 30meters?

There are many other factors - an open-air coverage can be in the 80...100 meters range. These are numbers I remember from Cisco-Meraki or HPE specs. Finally it depends on the client density in an area.where you will run more APs on lower power.

Other companies can do it, why not Netgear?

While this would be interesting information, indeed.

The effective reach is defined by the maximum regulatory allowed emitted power - and all vendors go near to the limits.

There might be a difference if a vendor can offer three WAC505 for less than 200 USD or a tri-radio WAC540 for about the same price tag - while other vendors easily ask for 1000...1500 USD per AP (with some years cloud management coverage).
