I moved from an X10 router to a new RAX200. I have a 1150v modem. When I had the X10, I got a speed of 935 mbps. My ISP plan has a download speed of 1200 mbps. After the setup to RAX200, I get 710 mbps :( My settings are: Enabled AXEnabled OFDMA in all bandsDisabled Smart ConnectDisabled 20/40 MHz coexistenceWPA2/PSK security in all bandsDisabled QoSNo link aggregation from modem to routerAny thoughts on how to fix this? Thanks

How are you testing speeds? What website and device? Testing wired? Wireless?Many site struggle with speeds >500mbps and will give unreliable results.

I tested with wired connection of my laptop to the router, with using Ookla speedtest and Xfinity speedtestusing the Nighthawk app from my phoneI did the tests over 10 times at different times of the day. Please note that the same sites had worked with my older X10 router

When you're plugged directly into the cm1150v, what speeds do you get currently?

I got 937 mbps when connected to the modem

What firmware version is on the RAX? Did you try a factory reset? After the reset, test the speeds without changing any of the default settings and see what you get.

RAX200 download speed slow

I moved from an X10 router to a new RAX200. I have a 1150v modem.

When I had the X10, I got a speed of 935 mbps.

My ISP plan has a download speed of 1200 mbps.

After the setup to RAX200, I get 710 mbps :(

My settings are:

Enabled AX
Enabled OFDMA in all bands
Disabled Smart Connect
Disabled 20/40 MHz coexistence
WPA2/PSK security in all bands
Disabled QoS
No link aggregation from modem to router

Any thoughts on how to fix this? Thanks
