wifi 6 does not combine the bands. these routers do have the "capability" to switch between bands depending the signal integrity. In fact, my Wifi 4 nighthawk had this, so this isn't the same thing.
the massive throughput you are talking about is exactly what i was pointing out. wifi 7 COMBINES the bands, as in the device will communicate with all bands simultaneously.
"Additionally, Wi-Fi 7 will introduce Multi-Link Operation (MLO) technology, which allows devices to simultaneously send and receive data over multiple radio bands to create a single aggregated connection. This will not only provide faster throughput performance, but will also help reduce latency and allow data to flow unimpeded by network traffic or interference."

also wifi 7 hits a theoretical 48Gbps, not 12. did you even research anything before you starting typing? it took me 5 seconds to google this.
the router is NOT using both bands to communicate with devices simultaneously when using smart connect. the speeds are not additive, it's one or the other. Also, this technology is very poorly implemented. if you knew anything about networking, you would already know this, but you seem brand new. Considering you thought this was a Wifi 6 feature when it's been around since Wifi 4 seems pretty evident of what you think you know. humble yourself.
MLO is additive and is a completely different technology that cannot be back ported. I'm sure you have difficulty understanding that, but I'm not writing this for you, but more for people who have decent reading comprehension as to not be misinformed by you.
And no where on the internet does it state there are real world results of 12Gbps. I mean if it did, I'm sure you're ready to provide some references just like you did with you netgear kb article. Strange you didn't choose to put a reference for this, right?
good luck in life, you must have some real difficulties. why go around spreading misinformation is beyond me, but you do you.

That being said have not seen reviews on this model so time to do some research since for $200 this would be the cheapest for a high end triband Wifi 6E router outside of the MSI clearance.
So not many professional review on this router yet, which is disappointing but user reviews on best buy are phenomenal and the few reviews I did find especially on youtube showed that this router using the wifi 6E was able to hit 1800Mbps on the up and down with 2 gig internet over wifi. Realistically should be easily able to get over 1Gbps even with wifi 6 if some of those test numbers are accurate.
Second this price is a steal, best buy is selling theirs for $300. Overall this is a winner if you want the latest and greatest (non wifi 7) and dont want to break the bank, router should last many years with these kind of specs.

i am also of the understanding that wifi 7 is gonna be the real deal. it should combine all bands for use simultaneously for devices. that should in theory be what is needed to automatically balance speed v. range. for sure will be priced very premium.
overall i'm pretty happy with it so far. the device it replaced was a nighthawk that ran for nearly 10 years with such few issues, i could count it on one hand. it was just time for an upgrade over wifi 4, and im glad i did. turns out that my old router didn't have the hardware to support 1GB/s internet.

Wifi 7 is a game changer when it comes to throughput and bandwidth, being able to push up to 12Gbps from some real world tests is pretty amazing, on the low side the lowest has been around 2.5Gbps. Unfortunately the price wont be coming down for awhile so anything wifi 7 will be costing $400+ for at least 2 years minimum.
Also hoping the 2nd wave of Wifi 7 routers have HaLow standard incorporated, because currently nothing in the USA uses HaLow, but it will be a game changer to cover vast areas of property and connect low bandwidth low power smart devices across a network.
