I was curious about my RAX50v2 as well so I dragged my v2 out of the box and set it up.
Both iphone 12 Pro Max and Galaxy Tab S7 FE couldn't get much over 130Mpbs on the down on 2.4Ghz. This was right next to the router.
I connected my RAXE500 in wireless bridge mode and it connected just under 600Mbps and was able to see just over 300Mpbs on the down. Though the RAXE500 is a 4x4 MIMO router, the phone and pad are just 2x2 so there connection rates were probably 300Mpbs at best and thus would not see much over 130Mpbs on the download speeds. This would be mostly expected results.

So very interesting that you did achieve some higher download speeds. As we used to say in my Engineering coursework many years ago: It's Magic (we used a pre direct wording but will not use it here...LOL)
Thanks again for your support!
