Wax620 slow speeds?

I have a hardwire going to the back of it with speeds of 1.5gig down, I’m using it as my only AP for the house, and when I have my phone sitting right ontop of it the speeds won’t go over 300mbps? I have a pc on the floor directly above it and that also will only get around 300mpbs… when I was using my cax80 as an AP I would get much higher speeds to both… is this just how the wax620 is? Thanks in advance!

    Hi,

     

    WAX620 is capable of a much higher speed depending on the client capability.

     

    I would suggest to change the channel width to 80MHz (by default it is set as 40 MHz) once and check if that makes a difference?

     

    Thanks!
