Firmware loaded on the RAX?
Distance between the RAX and the host wifi router?
What channels are you using on the host wifi router?
Does this happen when selecting 2.4 or 5Ghz frequencies for wireless bridge mode?

* The RAX was updated when I got it to V1.2.10.56 and hasn't had an update beyond that as far as I am aware.
* Probably 35-45ft. L-shapped rooms and doors setup between the two. Getting some things setup originally I was barely able to run a 50ft cable between the two. Quality wise, the basic google tests show pretty consistent 600-700 Mbps down. Wired was maxing out around 850 Mbps but often close to the Wifi stats.
* Haven't customized this in the admin settings in any way. I actually am not finding the relevant options in there looking for it.
* I have the RAX setup to connect over 5GHz only. I haven't tried 2.4GHz but could try for a time.
