Nighthawk x10[R9000] To Nighthawk Tri-Band AX12[RAX200]
So I upgrade from R9000 to RAX200 Router, I was hoping to see at least 10% Wi-Fi speed improvement but seen none!!! I got Verizon Fios Gigabit speed but surprise to see no improvement over the previo...
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...)
- Just 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. 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.
Didn't know about RAX200 [AX11000] Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6 Router????

It does say RAX120
I see you are running the latest firmware on your RAX120. Does the RAX120 now have the option to aggregate the LAN port that's next to the WAN port for dual WAN capability?

Just to avoid confusion - even if there are aggregation options to combine two GbE LAN ports as a WAN port (trunk, LAG, ...e.g. to connect one of these advanced Netgear cable routers/modem also supporting aggregation because these allow traffic > 1 Gb/s - it's still a single WAN.
