Not getting WiFi speed
So my AT&T plan is 1000mbps. My wired connection from the BGW210 modem is around 800-900mbps but when I connect to the RAX40 I’m getting around 200-300.

Is that a wifi speed? I ask because your subject says "Not getting WiFi speed" but the message gives no clue.
If it is wifi, the speed will be down to the wifi clients. For many clients 200-300 Mbps is pretty good and will never be as as fast as the wired speed.

Good call. Figured the OP was testing via wired but I shoudn't assume. :)

Indeed. That's why we need full details. It was only the subject that made me ask.
