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 reply
Congratuations for u didnt have same issues like me and 2nd post ,
but for my experience its very sad ==
- I didn’t mean to put down your issue, hopefully it gets solved. I was just responding to the message saying that NG may not be testing with AX devices hence I was pointing out maybe they didn’t run into the issue.
One thing I will say is that it’s generally best to buy a router that’s at least a year or so old so to have a fully stable devices with most bugs worked out, especially with a new WiFi standard, regardless of brand.
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.
