Question about NETGEAR RAX120, need an expert for this question.
1. If I have 2 of NETGEAR RAX120, one for the AP mode and another one for the bridge mode on the 5Ghz band. Can it benefit from 8 streams and Beamforming from 8 of its antennas on both routers? 2. I...
Theoretically you'll see in improvement.
In usage? I'm not sure if it'll be that benefical. The concrete walls are the issue and 5ghz is sensitive to concrete as you've found out. With as fast as 5ghz AX speeds drop off, I'm not sure you'll see the same ration that you're seeing with the AC devices.
If you're not renting, it might be worth investing the time/energy/cost to find a way to run an ethernet cable. Otherwise it'll be a constant battle.
Not that I'm trying to stop you from buying a router but an RAX120 is currently $400 on amazon so $800 total for 2. I'd be willing to bet someone in your area would be willing to do the work for cheaper than that. Plus then you could just hardwire in your current devices
I wish I could wire... you could say my case is one of a kind. That why I struggle to find information. Back then when I plan to get the current WIFI bridge setup I bet the outcome but it worth it because the internet speed it uses to be like 200 Mbps.
But now I have a baseline for the WIFI bridge and I get 701 Mbps out of 1300 Mbps on my current router (3 streams). In theory, I should get the same or better ratio if I move to 4 streams AX with Beamforming, 160 Mhz bandwidth, QAM 1024, right? đ
Hopefully, when the router gets sales, I'll grab 2 of Nighthawk AX8 or ASUS RT-AX88U.
Which one do you think it the best between Nighthawk AX8 or ASUS RT-AX88U?

I don't have either one so can't attest to how well either one runs
