WAX620 max DL rates 20Mbs?

I just installed a new WAX620 to replace my unifi AP in my home. I have gig/gig internet and on the Unifi AC AP I can get up to 120Mb/s. When I swapped ot the WAX620 all my devices are capped at 20Mb/s on both 2.4g and 5.0. Qos is turned off and everything seems configured correctly. What am I missing? I thought wifi 6 was supposed to be a bit faster and better then the older AC standard?

  • I was able to fix this by changing from local management to insight. I sure hope I dont have to run insight on my AP just for it to use its max speed. I am now getting 516/516 on my wifi 6 devices.
