My new -AX capable laptop is connecting to my RAX80 at 2.4GB per WiFi status
I have -AX enabled on my RAX80 router (latest F/W) and connected my new AX capable laptop to the 5G WiFi and when I check "WiFi Status" of the adapter in Windows, it says "Speed: 2.4Gbps".
The laptop is about 10 feet from the router and the signal strength is maximum and the laptop says it's connected to the 5G SSID.
Why is it connecting at such a slow speed?
You need to check with the laptops mfr or the wifi adatper mfr to see what is supported for connection rates on this adapter. Depending on model and design support most max connection rates are 2400Mbps on 5Ghz AX mode. Some devices if they support 4x4 antenna MIMO designs can have connection rates up to 4800Mpbs however this is rarely seen. I know, I tried. :smileyembarrassed:
Most phones, pads and adapters are rates for 2x2 antenna support so max rates can be around 1300 to 2400Mpbs depending.

I'm sorry, I don't even see a "Choose File" button when I'm posting or replying.

Oops, I got the 2.4GHz mixed up with the 2.4bps. My bad. I am connected to the %GHz WiFi and my connection speed is 2.4Gbps.
