OFDMA for 5GHz/RAXE500
I just installed and manually set up the RAXE500 as AP in my LAN and so far so good. By default OFDMA is disabled for the 2.4 and 5GHz bands, will I get any benefit/harm by enabling it? Thanks

Some see a benefit from other, others not as much.
Enable it and see how well it works for you.

I'm using the 5GHz band with OFDMA enabled, so far so good, stable connection, however I cannot feel speed improvement
From everything I've read, you don't really notice much difference (if any). Speedtesting can show results but even that is variable.
