Nighthawk RAX70 Full Gigabit wired speeds but half Over Wifi
Hi Everyone, I tried to do a search online but I am getting so many different answers of (yes you should get these speeds and no you shouldn't) I just upgraded to gigabit net, and wired to my...
sorry! no clue on a mac. I'm an android/windows guy.
Anothter thing to check.
The RAX70 is a triband. The 5ghz is much much faster than the 2.4ghz.
But with that said, the 1-5ghz band is only a 2x2 antenna 1.2gig connection (80hz).
the other 5ghz is a 4x4 antenna (160hz) 4.8ghz band.
so try disabling smart connect and test each 5ghz band and see what you get.
(5ghz band will drop speed quickly with distance/obstructions).
Okay I have my PC too but I will have to try it on wifi instad of wired.
I was using the second 5ghz channel 4x4 (or at least that is what the router page said)
I will disabled the smart connect and try again and see what I get on each band.
Hopefully that might be the solution.

Not sure if the iphone supports 160hz wide channels.
If its only 80hz wide and they're a 2x2 connection, it should at best link at 1.2ghz for either channel.
You can try changing wifi channels to see if it helps.
