nighthawk ax6600 5g2 no good

I have a nighthawk AX6600 all my devices work fine on 5g but when I but any one on 5g2 they will hardly work slow real slow. Put back on 5g work fine. Why buy a triband router if 5g2 not work. Am I doing something wrong.it is same with windows ten laptop,iphone,ipad all same.

  • What firmware are you on? 

    Have you tried a factory reset and reinstall? The RAX devices were released before the AX spec was even finalized so have responded well to factory resets and clean installs.

        What actual version are you on? It changes frequently and it can help others viewing this post or if the forum is being watched by moderators. 

        What modem is it connected to? 

        Did you try the factory reset? 

        What speeds do you get hardwired? 

        And what speeds do you get in each band? 

        how are you testing?
