RAXE300 slow connections
Started having speed problems with my RAXE300. Was getting 500+Mbps, all of a sudden, barely get 8Mbps on either wifi or wired. Latest firmware V1.0.7.62_1. It's connected to CM700 with supplied wire. If I connect my AC1750, I can get 200+Mbps. If I connect the RAXE300 to the AC1750 and test, I get 200+ through the RAXE300. Direct to modem = slower than through another router. Am I missing a setting? I haven't changed anything from initial installation.
- Solved: as a last resort I did a factory reset. Back to normal speeds, just a pain to have to put everything back in.

There is a logical process in tracking down this sort of problem.
First, restart the network.
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug modem.
- Turn off router and computers.
- Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on computers and rest of network.
- Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the power cycle on everything 3 times. Still only 8.23 Mbps down, 20.5 up. Let me know what's next in the process. Thanks again.

It makes it easier to restore the configuration if you find yourself in the same situation in the future. Just remember, the backup configuration file is only good for the firmware version that was installed when you created the file. If you update firmware in the future, the first action is to make a backup configuration file based on the new firmware.
I have both a netgear raxe300 and UAP 6 enterprise. I am currently using libre test to test the wifi speed to decide which one I want to keep. Here are some interesting findings:
I found speed between two local clients under Netgear Raxe 300 5ghz wifi is around 700-900mbps while under UAP is 100-200 mbps under 5ghz wifi. But when I test it between a wired client and a wireless client, it is normal(900mbps).
The main usage for wifi is streaming game from my pc steam or ps5 to my steam deck. All of the devices are connected wirelessly. The wiredest thing is although Netgear has much better throughput, it stutters a lot in my remote game play while UAP 6 enterprise doesn't have any stuterness and is much stable than Netgear.
Just curious if there is toggle I can toggle or it's just normal for AP https://19216801.onl/ ?
