RAX120
I got my brand new Rax120 and Intel ax200 wireless Nic
I've got mainly 3 issues
1. If enable AX The connection speed is 2.4g
but it only transmit around 58mb/s from my Synology NAS while it's connected to 1000m lan.and the wireless network sometimes may disappear.
2. If disable AX ,the connection speed is less than1.7g
The wireless speed is unstable from range 30mb/s to gigabit network bottleneck wihich is 113mb/s .the router is next to PC (less than 1m),at same time I've tested rax80 but it nearly same .I do think the performance is not good as it's price ,
3 I have a 10g sfp+rj45 copper paired with mikrotik switch and connected to milti-gig port .the other side is sfp+ 10g connected to PC .
From the router ready share server copy 20g single file to PC will work as 55mb/s and sometimes up to 88mb/s
If directly use this rj45 copper insert into PC's OCe 11102 gigabit network adapter and connect to milti-gig ,the copy speed is 230mb/s
The copper didn't specify it support negotiable to 5g/2.5g mode ，but in this case it can excceed than 1000m network .so why it cannot work well through switch ?

Hi atsrxL,
there are a few discussions on this topic in this forum already.
I am working with Netgear Support for more than 2 month now on this.
Fact today is: There is no AX transmission on a RAX120.
Even on Firmware 1.0.1.89 which is in beta mode there is no AX transmission. They have fixed the problem you describe which I had on the 84 and 86 firmware by reducing the AX speed to around 100Mbps.
In other words if you turn AX mode off your router is faster on Wifi in Firmware 89.
I do not think they have any testing devices as they keep asking me to send in logs from Intels AX200 or the Killer 1650. Issue is the same on both cards (same Chipset).
So if I were you I would return this router as long as you can do that.
- I’m not sure what you mean by no AX transmission, I have 3 Intel AX200 clients and all are faster on AX mode by 10-15% vs AC mode on 5Ghz which is expected, 20% is the best I’ve seen. On 2.4 GHz on 20 MHz mode I get a 2X gain with AX over AC. That was on the .84 firmware when I tested after buying the router in April. A few reviews from various sites are also up showing gains on AX.
- They’re probably asking for logs because not everyone is having this issue and it might be down to certain differences in different test/use environments.
Thanks for ur advice
The actually situation is I shiped it from USA to my country ,so its difficult to ship back .
I got no way to find offical contact method such as email or online chat in order to get the beta firmware , can u please offer me a test firmware for test >?
U can send it by email Atsrxl@gmail.com
Thank u very much.
