Currently, I using 2 ASUS RT-AC68U, one as AP mode and another one as a bridge mode. RT-AC68U has a maximum speed of 1,300 Mbps on 5Ghz AC. Due to the obstacle and range, I can only max out 360 Mbps.
So, I can only get a speed ratio of 0.2769. If on the 4,804 Mbps AX I should get around 1,330 Mbps. And this doesn't count the fact that it has 1 more antenna that should help get the signal strength a little bit higher from Beamforming.
I aim to get 1Gbps on the WIFI bridge.

What obstacle and how far are you going?
Is the 360mbps your actual throughput or is that your link speed?
there's several options you could try. buying 2x RAX120's is a bit expensive of an option.
have you tried powerline/moca adapters/ or a point to point system?
