Not getting full internet speed over Wifi
I purchased the RAX120 router because lots of reviews and post I’ve seen say this router has over a Gig throughput over Wifi, I have Gig+ xfinity internet, the internal speed test shows I’m getting be...
So the people I’ve seen say they are getting over a gig have the right unit to test the speed or they did it at the right time and the environment was perfect or they are lying?
Could be both...
- So, the only way to find a router to give me a gig output is to buy and test, can’t listen to the reviews?
Which stinks because I bought this router off eBay and it seems to be working just fine, it’s brand new just not getting the output I am looking for.

How many Wifi clients do you own that are that fast?
- Amazon FireStick sideloading apps. The faster the internet the less problems with buffering. May just buy the adapter to use it hardwired.
- You're not getting the "output" you're looking for because your test client device (iPhone 11) can't handle more than what you already get (~800 Mbps). It's a 2x2 MIMO device. As mentioned, you not only need the right equipment but also an ideal setting to get even close to the advertised speeds
