RAX80 cutting speed by half after adding a CAX30

As per your recommendation I left the CAX30 in gateway mode and change the RAX80 to AP mode, unfortunately I lost internet connection from the RAX80, I joined again the network and re-introduced passwords but it was saying connected without internet. I did a reset to the CAX30 and the RAX 80 did not recover internet again (like none of my devices could connect to that network). In the nighthawk app I was able to see both devices, the RAX80 with limited options (as suggested when moved to AP mode) and I was able to do a device internet test that came back even lower ~100Mbps. But still neither my phone or computer had internet access. I followed the netgear documentation to the process so I am not sure if I am missing anything?

To regain internet access to all my devices, I had to do a factory reset on the RAX80 and its back to normal again

With the CAX30 in gateway mode and nothing connected to the Ethernet ports, after booting does the internet indicator illuminate?  If not, that has to be resolved first.

Is the RAX80 in router mode or access point mode?  What do you mean by normal?

When you make and save changes to these devices, you have to power them down (pull the power cord) wait a minute and then start up your network in sequence.  Generally from the outside in and allow plenty of time for each device to boot and stabilize before starting the next.
