The issue you are experiencing is most likely a bug with QoS. I regularly get 625Mbps on my iPhone XS Max on the RAX80, and it is not even an AX device. To fix the issue, you can possibly do a factory reset. The issue came back after update to new firmware. I did not want to reset so I toggled QoS on and off. I left QoS off and I am getting 940Mbs on wired and up to 840Mbs on WiFi on my laptop. The issue has not returned for over three weeks now. I posted this in another thread also and it fixed the issue for those users also.
