RAX120 Speed drops from 600-700 Mbps to 6 Mbps when using 802.11ax
So I have an issue where if I use any network adapter that has 802.11ax the speeds will just randomly drop from normal 600-700 Mbps to around 6 Mbps and in reality it really isn't even that as almost...
Try downgrading the firmware a version. I've read of others having issues with the most recent version.
NordicBastrd, as a test, it may be beneficial to check if the problem occurs with other AX devices (e.g., a iPhone 11 Pro you or a friend might have available).
If the problem is isolated to the Intel AX200 network adapter, then that suggest that the root cause of the issue is with the Intel adapter and not the Netgear router.
I have two different network adapters. Of course both have the underlying AX200 chipset because there isn't a network adapter that does 802.11ax that isn't the ax200 currently, at least that I'm aware of. This isn't the network adapter itself.

I have 2 different AX200 adapters, 1 is built into my motherboard and the other is a PCIe one by ASUS. both have the problem so the problem is much more likely to be the Netgear RAX120 than the adapters. I have had this problem since February and no firmware update has ever fixed it.
Has anyone found a fix for this yet?
- Returned RAX120 for a refund from Amazon and decided to stick with Netgear and got a RAX200. All problems went away. RAX120 is buggy and they don't seem to be able to fix it.
I have 3 different network adapters and they all have the same issue. Of course all of them are Intel AX200 chipsets...because all ax network adapters have that chipset. Surely an issue with the RAX120.
