Wired Backhaul for WAX610 and WAX214 Access Points

The crux with Apple's WiFi is that they stuck very long to 3x3.3 systems, not only on the wireless client side, also for Airports and TimeCapsules up to thier end (Broadcom) while the rest of the world went 2x2.2 years before. With the 2x2 Intel AX2xx it will make 866 Mb/s max PHY lnk only.

The Orbi Pro WiFi 6 is "AX6000" because of it's three radios - 2400 + 2400 + 1200 where one is used for the wireless backhaul. The WAX610(Y) are indeed 1200 + 600 (reading from the Turkish coffee grounds tells us that a 2400 + 1200 variant is waiting around the door).

Said that, the costs and therefor the end user prices for WiFi 6 2400 + 1200 (competitor AP prices 250...350 USD) and 2400 + 2400 + 1200 (like an Orbi Pro WiFi 6 satellite) are much higher. 

Last but not least, WiFi 6 will require tri-band devices - because of the additional 6 GHz radio. As usual, the market leaders like Netgear push out the "first" WiFi 6E routers in 4800 + 4800 + 1200 with 12 stream configurations. This does currently sell around 600 USD each (and a good business class AP does not differ much in the hardware). As you might know, WiFi 6/6E is the first WiFi standard not having the single client max speed in mind. Much more it's about having clients with various capabilities supported concurrently. As it does not make much sense having a single big AP due to building layout and construction materials, it makes much more sense to deploy slightly slower AP, the more the better. That's why you have e.g a solution with multiple WAX610 in mind, correct? I expect the first WiFi 6E APs to be in the 2400 + 2400 + 1200 or leading edge with 4800 + 2400 + 1200 range. Time will tell.
