RAX43 5Ghz network unstable
*Router is actually RAX43 but for some reason that wasn't an option. I can't seem to get a stable connection to a 5Ghz network on my PC that lasts longer than 5 seconds. I recently switched ISPs ...
Update for anyone reading this in the future: After troubleshooting and talking to Netgear support, we determined it was faulty and I returned the router and replaced it, I haven't had any issues with the new one since then. So if you're having a similar issue to me, you might need a replacement unit.
The modem is a Huawei ONT, wired into the house as a part of the NZ Government's Fibre rollout.
As for speeds over 500mb/s, my PC, work laptop and iPad all support WIFI 6. I did manage to see the full speed of my connection on my PC during testing, but the instability of 5ghz makes that useless.

That doesn't telll us what it is. Just the brand name. The question was intended to find out if the Internet came through something that is also a router. That isn't common, but isn't unknown and complicates network management.
It's an ONT thats made by Huawei, that's all I know. I didn't pick it, it's the same ONT that basically every house in New Zealand got during the national fibre rollout.
It's an issue with the 5Ghz local network, I don't really see how the model of the ONT has any impact. I know it works fine because I can plug the Eero router back in and it works as expected.
Sorry if that came off as rude, this has been an ordeal. I can tell you with some certainty that the ONT is not also a router, just the modem.
