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 between 1300 and 1400Mbps internet speed to the router, but my WiFi speed just does hit 800Mbps. Is it what I’m using to test with not capable of hitting those speeds (iPhone11) or am I missing a setting somewhere?
Nice marketing numbers, unreal however. Technically, the iPhone 11 with it's 80 MHz bandwidth capability and an MCS 9 (VHT) can reach a physical link speed of 866 Mb/s on AC and and MCS 11 (HE) of 1200 Mb/s on AX, Sources: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/deployment/dep268652e6c/web and https://www.duckware.com/tech/wifi-in-the-us.html#wifi6
Yes, it's interesting Apple does restrict the hardware capabilities for AC 5 and AX 6 to these average 80 MHz bandwidth, except of the 6E (6 GHz) channels - this is what limits the physical max link rate.
