Nighthawk AX12 WiFi Router (RAX120) with Nighthawk AX8 8-Stream WiFi 6 Mesh Extender (EAX80)
I have ridicoulus thick walls in my flat living on floor 1 in an old appartment.
This is my setup: Nighthawk AX12 AX6000 WiFi Router (RAX120) with Nighthawk AX8 AX6000 8-Stream WiFi 6 Mesh Extender (EAX80)
Would changing RAX120 to a Nighthawk WiFi 7 Router RS700S, 19Gbps make any improvement on my speed and wifi cover generally? My flat is only 150sq m but thick walls so from 1Gb from fiber in to the rax120 then wifi to AX6000 means 250-300mb/s uppstream and downstream from AX6000.

Doubtful but we can't say that 100% without trying.
Do you own this flat? If so, a better option is wired ethernet to be pulled. If you don't own it, you could look at MOCA adapters (ethernet over coax) if there's coax ran or powerline devices. They do a pretty decent job but the powerline might not be more than that 300mpbs you're hitting. 300mbps is actually pretty solid through thick walls. Most devices don't use anywhere near that. Streaming 4k only takes 25-40mbps. So hitting faster speeds is really only beneficial if you're moving massive files or just like the speedtest results to be higher. It doesn't actually improve performance a whole lot otherwise.
ok, so that was my guess, great to have someone else telling me that :) thx for your input.
