RAX120 5Gb port slowed down to 1Gb recently
I had setup the 5Gb port to connect to my 10Gb Synology so that I can transfer a file thru wifi from my computer to the RAX120 and then it's wired from the 5Gb port to the 10Gb port of the Synology.
I was able to achieve real good speeds until recently when the speed slowed down to 50MB.
The router is in AP mode.
I restarted the router and updated the latest firmware, then I put it in router mode, went to the internet setting for the WAN port and selected 5Gb and then put back in AP mode.
Still 50-60MB.
Anyone dealt with this recently?

Do you have a different device that you can test with?
Does NOT setting the WAN port in router mode before changing to AP mode change the behavior?
What CAT# lan cable are you using? CAT6A STP is recommended here.
CAT6A from RAX120 to Synology, this happened recently and no changes were made to neither settings nor wiring etc
I would test a different device on this to compare.
Try a full on factory reset, power OFF for 1 min, then back ON. Power OFF NAS as well then back ON. Set up the router from scratch and see if this changes anything.
