the speed is good

abogrhen,
Please try disabling the smart connect feature if you have it enabled.

- aonavy1Sep 17, 2019GuideIt's never been on. I did however get some decent speeds (175MBs) changing the channel to 100 using HT160. I think should be closer to 200-225MBs while connected to 2.4ghz but this work until another firmware comesabout.

yeah i think there is a communication problem between rax120 and ax200
i hope both sides Intel - Netgear can look into it

I highly doubt you will get 200+ MB/s with any current router when paired with the AX200. I get around 140-144 MB/s on both ac mode and ax mode with the AX200, and with ax mode sometimes it will hit 160-170 MB/s but never sustained regardless of the RAX120 or RAX80. Similar results with others who tested on an Asus AX11000 which pretty much uses the same Broadcom chipset as the RAX80 plus an extra 5Ghz radio like the RAX200 has.
AX wont give you more than like a 10-20% realworld boost over ax on 5Ghz in raw speeds. Main advantage of AX over AC is performance in dense WIFi environments. On 2.4Ghz AX you can actually get 2x the performance when compared to 2.4Ghz N though.

On 2.4 Ghz you definately wont hit anywhere near even 100 MB/s. I hope you aren't confusing MB/s (Megabytes) with Mb/s (Megabits). 1 MB = 8 Mb, in networking Mb is the more common notation.
