Router:
Nighthawk® AX12 RAX120Firmware:Router Firmware Version V1.2.8.40The computer from the connection speed to the router is showing a 1Gbs connection as it is a wired connection using CAT 6e Ethernet cable 10 feet.Thank you in advance,George
What is the brand name and model number of the upstream cable modem connected to your RAX120?
By chance is it a combination cable modem/router device with several Ethernet output ports?

Ubee DVW32CB 4 Ethernet ports.
I have tried all 4 of them.
Event tried the 5G port on the router.

- That's a modem/router and since you didn't mention it, most likely you're in a double NAT situation(1) you should avoid. If you can, put the Ubee in bridge mode. If not, put the RAX router in AP mode.

This might be useful:
ubee dvw32cb bridge mode - Google Search
You might check what the router is showing the lan/wan port connections at. maybe the computer is saying gigabit but the router isn't. (shouldn't work that way but stranger things have happened).
