Some of those specs are off, I think you might have been looking at the r560 or another 6E AP by accident.
The r650 has unleashed available, several friends are using them with unleashed at home, and no 6E support.
None of the r6x0 models support 6GHz, afaik that’s only available on the r560, r760 and r770 and of those only the r770 supports unleashed (it’s also tremendously expensive.)
The model distribution for unleashed support is a little weird, the entire xx10 series (r510, r610, r710, etc) is supported, along with the xx50s (r650, r750) and a smattering of other r7x0 models (r720, r770, etc.) A few mid-generation r7x0 models exist but don’t support unleashed, these tend to either use draft WiFi spec hardware or non-ARM SoC platforms. The r560 and r760 support WiFi 6E but are non-unleashed models.
If you don’t care about AX or don’t want to spend too much r610s and r710s are really reasonably priced on eBay, I’ve seen plenty of r610s for ~$50 and they’re absolute workhorses.
For a multi-story home install you’ll probably want 1-2 r650s (or r550s) for solid AX coverage throughout the house. I’d start with one in the middle of the second or third floor and see how coverage looks. If coverage is insufficient move the AP to the middle of the top floor and add one more in the middle of the ground floor and you should be set. The way the coverage patterns on these work they benefit from being installed on the ceiling, I think you have something like 1/3 coverage behind the AP (above, if it’s mounted on the ceiling) compared to what you have in front. The radiation diagrams on the model data sheets are worth a look.
If you’re trying to cover the entire house with one single AP in the middle I’d look at the higher spec models (610/650/710/750) rather than the r5x0s, the r6/r7 models handle density better than the r5s. I wouldn’t be too surprised if one r650 covered the entire house, ruckus beam forming is really good compared to the competition.
