Connected to an at&t fiber gateway (1 Gbps U/D)

 

Bought this router to be able to use it with my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra in the 6GHz band as no one uses that band in our condo complex. However, performance is horrible even when in the same room. It gets worse in an adjacent room so I even bought a 6 GHz range extender ... but didnt help. Our condo is not big and although I fully understand propagation at 6GHz, the fact that it doesn't perform better, even in the same room, is perplexing.

 

I reverted to the 5GHz band and I am getting the range and the performance/throughput ... so I now wonder why I switched from my previous router as thge 6 GHz perfornce is very disappointing with this RAXE300 router?

 

Any suggestions???

I do not have experience with Wi-Fi 6E devices.  For a better understanding, suggest you review Chapter 12 in the Duckware link below.

From a cursory review, the main issue I see is limited range.

Hopefully you were not a victim of marketing hype.
