Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n)

The Wi-Fi versions supported by the device.
Wi-Fi speed

1750 Mb/s

3000 Mb/s

A higher maximum Wi-Fi speed results in better performance. This is measured in megabits per second.
Wi-Fi bands

Dual-band

Dual-band

Dual band routers have two bands, 2.4GHz and 5GHz. The 5GHz band is faster and more stable, with the only downside being that it covers a shorter range than the 2.4GHz band. If you have many connected devices, you may benefit from a tri-band router, which has an additional 5GHz band to reduce network congestion. Finally, there are quad-band routers. These take advantage of Wi-Fi 6E to provide an additional 6GHz band for faster speeds and lower latency.
How much power the device consumes when it's switched on.
With more LAN ports you are able to connect more computers to the network directly using LAN cables.

Features

has MU-MIMO
TP-Link RE450
TP-Link RE705X
MU-MIMO helps reduce congestion and increases performance on Wi-Fi networks when many devices are connected at the same time.
supports mesh Wi-Fi
TP-Link RE450
TP-Link RE705X
If you use several of these routers, they can link up with each other to provide a greater area of Wi-Fi coverage. It's particularly useful if you have a large house or apartment.
has beamforming
TP-Link RE450
TP-Link RE705X
Normally, a router broadcasts the Wi-Fi signal in all directions. Using beamforming technology, the router detects where your device is and focuses a stronger signal in that direction, resulting in a better connection.
