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 have the exact same problem.  The range is less than my 7 year old R6300v2.

Repeating again that - depending on the regulatory area - some channels can work on 1 W while others are on max 250 mW. This does easily create a wrong impression  even when using the same hardware.
