RAX80 range is not that great

So, it seems the range is a little lacking.  Using one Linksys Velop node placed in the same location would give me 5ghz and of course 2.4ghz to my outdoor camera.  with the RAX80, I get zero signal....

Returned a  Nighthawk X10 AD7200 to Best Buy yesterday for reboots. Best Buy no longer carries the 7200. they had the RAX80 which I purchased. I live in a 3000 sqft home. All my smart devices including the rings doorbells on the front and back of the home are working fine. I have noticed an uptick in download speed through Comcast. Its still early but that's my experience after 24 hrs

      For me RAX80 has been a reasonably pleasant experience. Speed is great, and coverage is not worse than my other routers. VPN has been speedy and reliable. Noticed some speed degradations over time but reboot has fixed them. Not fond of the GUI and wish firmware development would have been speedier. Other than that, its been a great experience.
