New - RAX120v1 and RAX120v2 Firmware Version 1.2.9.52 Released
This came in via Auto update today on my v2. This is for v1's as well.
Installed the update using auto update, then power cycled OFF then back ON then factory reset and setup from scratch. Mines in...
So I tested my RAX120v2.
1. Connected behind a Orbi 970 with a 10Gb LAN Port.2. Connected behind a SXR30 Pro with NG GS-108 1Gb 8-port switch in between.
1 6ft CAT6 UTP cable connecting the RAX120 to it's source device while in AP mode.
1Gb Windows 10x64 PC
First test is with RAX in AP mode connected with it's MG port to the Orbi 970 10Gb LAN port and 1 wired PC connected to the RAX120v2 LAN port in back. RAX was first set up in router mode and it's Internet port section there set to the 5GB Internet port and applied. Then AP mode was configured for static IP and the configuration applied:
Wired PC connected to LAN 4 port.
Second test is with the RAX in AP mode with it's INTERNET port connected to the NG GS-108 swithch connected behind Orbi SXR30 router and 1 wired PC connected to the RAX120v2 LAN port in back. RAX was first set up in router mode and it's Internet port section there set to the Main Internet port and applied. Then AP mode was configured for static IP and the configuration applied:
Wired PC connected to LAN 4 port.
Third test is with the RAX in AP mode with it's INTERNET port connected to the NG GS-108 switch connected behind Orbi SXR30 router and 1 wired PC connected to the RAX120v2 MG Port:
Wired PC connected to the MG port.
Throughout all testing configurations above, I never saw any speed results below 900Mbps for the DOWN and 50Mpbs for the UP while the RAX120 was in AP mode.
Found one bug while in bridge mode.
Link rate and connection status are not correctly being displayed when connected to SSID signal:
Otherwise working so far in bridge mode.
Anyone curious on where IPv6 features are on the RAX120, it's located here on the WEB UI:
I use Hardware Version RAX120v2 in AP Mode on Firmware Version 1.2.9.52. I've got two pieces of this router. I want to use all of the 6 Ethernet Ports as the simple LAN switch. Why on Multi-GIG Port the upload is truncatet to 1MBps transfer? The download in the same time gives full speed of 600MBps from ISP on tests. Ther is no QoS active in AP mode. If I hot-swap my Cat.6 shielded cable from "Muliti-Gig" Port to the "Internet" port , there is no speed limit instantly for upload (200MBps to ISP)and download (600MBps from ISP)..I confirmed this behaviour on two pieces of RAX120v2 hardware - it is not incident, The same problem.with Multi-Gig port upload. My cable is ok and my ISP has no such limits like 1MBps. The other end of this Cat.6 STP cable sits in stable old 3com 8 port Gigabit switch. It shouldn't be a rocket speed challenge.
Can't You init the port driver correctly or You lost something unchecked in your code in AP mode. I have made factory reset on 1.2.9.52 firmware and I made setup from a scratch.
Did you first set the MG port for Internet connection while in router mode, then change from router mode to AP mode?
What is the brand and model host router that the RAX is connecting to?
What is the connection rate seen on the host router when the MG port is connected? Be sure the RAX is connecting to a MG port on the host router as well.
What CAT# LAN cable are you using between the RAX and host router? CAT6A STP is recommended.

I have CAT 6 STP for 1GBps speed connected from RAX120v2 to 3com 8 port Gigabit what I have written in my initial post. The 3Com switch always indicates 1Gbps connection on their ports from RAX120v2 whether on Multi-Gig or on "Internet" port. 3Com switch connects to switch of my ISP router.The cable is perfect, becouse it works in "Internet" port of RAX120v2 on full untruncated upload speed 1GBps. If I only swap cable to Multi-Gig - it gets 1MBps limit (very slow) on upload, but download is at full speed 600MBps. Only uplink is truncated. You can hot swap it from Multi-GIG to "Internet" of RAX120v2, and uplink has no limit.
The initial config for Multi-GIG before setting RAX120v2 to AP Mode was Internet Port (1 Gbps). I can repeat this problem endlessly on both RAX120v2 routers I have.
If I try to set it in other Multi-GIG option: 5G Ethernet port.the port is dumb.
WAN aggregation (1 Gbps + 1 Gbps) is not an option for me. I need 6 individual LAN ports at 1Gbps capability.
The initial config for Multi-GIG before setting RAX120v2 to AP Mode as to be set to MG, not the 1Gb port.
Also try connecting the RAX directly to the host router, by passing the switch your using to test.
