RAX40 slow wired ethernet ports in AP mode
I put the RAX40 in AP mode with a good connection to the main router (SFR BOX NB7 giving 500-800Mbps).
Wireless connections run fast; no issue.
BUT internet access via the wired ports on the RAX40 are limited to about 250Mbps (speedtest.net).
I tested to connect the main router to one of the 4 wired ports instead the yellow (WAN)
- Now the wired ports run now at the main router speed (500-800Mbps)
- And the wireless connections are down.
Thanks for help
My idea was to use:
wifi (working well)
and 2 ethernet ports
on the RAX40 being connected to the main router from the Internet Provider, so I can't switch out.
And if the router is configured as as Router and not a "Wifi Access Point", internet ports run at full speed.
Thanks

ronald_fr,
This may sound silly, but have you tried switching out the ethernet ports used on the RAX40?
