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....

I need a bit of help on my RAX80 setup. I heard that HT 80 and HT160 may give better range or performance. On my 7800 you could see where you could enable Ht160. On the RAX80 I cannot find that option.

 

  1. Firmware Version V1.0.1.40_1.0.22
  2. I've turned on QoS.
  3.  2.4Ghz
    1.  Auto and 1,000 Mbps
    2. No coexist between 20  and 40 Mhz
    3. Security at AES only
  4. 5Ghz
    1. Its set at Mode 1,000 Mbps and Channel auto. FOund out you cant set Auto on higher Mode settings
    2. Security is set at AES only
