    I have a very similar issue. RAX80 with AP mode and ISP Fiber (940up/down). Speeds from the RAX80 ethernet are OK but wifi speed is not great. On Galaxy S20 in AX mode and just a few feet from the RAX80 I can barely get 200Mbs upload and download around 350. Device is connected at 1.2Gbps. I had much better performance from older routers and beginning to regret my purchase of this device now.
