NETGEAR RAX 200 / Orbi
How can I connect these two router together so I can extend my WIFI around my house. I get some dead spots that I need help with. I own both routers.

I plugged in my Orbi and I have Frontier FiberOptic 1000 Mbps both up and download. But I noticed with my Orbi, I see speeds up to 990 Mbps (up) and 998 Mbps (down) speed. But with my RAX 200 the most I get is 850 up / 820 down. I have it programs to handle speeds of 1000 Mbps 2.4 ghz and 4800 Mbps 5Ghz. Is there a setting I have to change?

How are you testing speeds? The built in speedtest isn't that accurate at speeds over 500mbps as it rarely picks the best server.

What device is this and how does it accurately test?
Why aren't you testing with your equipment since that'll be whats used at home?
