There are so many errors in these numbers I don't know where to start. There is a mixing of bits and bytes. There also seems to be a seemingly random transition from the Giga- and Mega- prefix. Even the notation isn't consistent (Mb/s vs Mbps). Example: " Each 5GHz radio is able to broadcast at 2.1Gbps compared to 1.3Gbps on Gen 1 devices, and the bandwidth on the 2.4GHz channel is also increased from 600Mb/s on Gen 1 devices to 1GB/s. When you take both 5GHz channels at 2,100Gb/s and add it to the 1000Gb/s on the 2.4GHz channel" First we are using Gbps, fine. Now we are using Mb/s. Then we say the 2.4Ghz channel got 13x faster (600Mega-bits-per-second to 1-Giga-byte-per-second). Then we say the 2.4Ghz channel is 1000-Giga-bits-per second. Who knows.
