Can't see the in-line image because of the **** mandatory moderation yet ... if it's a RAX200 better don't use the product tag of the RAX120.

Screenshot does clealry indicate a Nighthawk AX12 (RAX120) - not the original subject Nighthawk Tri-Band AX12 (RAX200). These are two different products. So my assumption of v1.0.0.78 == RAX120 was correct. But hey, I don't blame you for Netgears very unlucky product designations - this kind of confusion was predictable (and I warned Netgear in time about the AX12 confusion...)
- avtellaMar 25, 2019ProdigyJust because you have two 5Ghz radios doesn’t mean you will necessarily see a noticeable improvement. The average home network wouldn’t really tax even a dual band router. Even if you have like WiFi 20 devices, actively transmitting devices will generally be like 4-5 at best in a 3-4 person household with the rest idle or intermittently transmitting to sync data.
Plus without AX clients you won’t really see any improvements over AC triband radio routers. - avtellaMar 25, 2019Prodigy
Oh to top it off I see Schumachu is right you have the RAX120 not the RAX200. I’d actually consider the AX120 as the better model, as Qualcomm seems to do a better job at actually delivering advertised features in a properly functioning fashion (ie MU-MIMO).

Alson 172 Mbps vs 192 Mbps isn’t a huge difference, antenna layout differences can mean in certain situations/locations one may be better than the other. Someone else therefore may have the opposite experience.
