Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX (WiFi 6) products.

Turn OFF the RBS to make sure the phone is connected at the RBR. Testing should be about 6-10 feet away from the RBR.
Depending on the phone model, 5Ghz can top out at around 300-500. My 12 Max that supports AX mode sees around 600-700max.
Please use this link to the main forum product list to review and choose where to make your posts.
