How comes you expect this - because the old was designated AD7200 and the new AX11000? Or simply new == faster?
Unless you have capable Wifi 6 (802.11ax) clients which can bring a massive speed enhancement, the 802.11ac standard implemented on the RAX200 is still the same, and will remain the same, for your existing 802.11ac clients.
Curious where you have acquired your RAX200 btw.

Forget one point (as editing after posting is still not possible here in this community section ChristineT Christian_R !) ... of course the RAX200 will allow some more concurrent throughput (by multiple clients) on 5 GHz because of the two radios in this band.

Last, for the future records in the community - which firmware version is in place on your RAX200?
