5GHz 4×4 AX: Up to 2400Mbps

(20/40MHz)Configured the WAX620 to 80 MHz bandwidth, and using a 4x4 capable wireless client for your bandwidth comparisons?
What wireless client is in use for your test?

I have realized my issue. I really need to swap out for a WAX615 or 625. Not sure why Netgear did not include 160mhz in the WAX620.
None of my devices are 4x4, and doing a quick search they are relatively non-existent. I need to alter my setup to appropriately support my network devices.

The reason 4x4 AP exist (while virtually no clients have it) is in the design basics of 802.11ax and it's standardization. Two concurrent active 2x2 clients can act independently. 802.11ax is the first standard not having the peak maximal theoretical throughput in mind.
