Terrible WiFi with RAX12 after switching off Xfinity AP
I deciced to replace the AP on my Comcast XB6 with the RAX120. Everything went great at first! I was hitting 870+ Mbps on WiFi 6 and 600-700 on 802.11 AC devices. Latency was low and legacy device...
Just to update, I've disabled OFDMA but it didn't change anything. The Comcast modem just seems to outperform the RAX12 at 802.11AC and below, despite having an advantage in signal strength. Channeles are all clear, tried swapping them around.
I'm still confused on the great performance on both AC and AX I got on day 1. Nothing changed other than the SSID overlap going away and moving over 8 additional 802.11 AC devices that are mostly inactive.
- I believe it is the firmware. I’m on a beta I got from the Netgear Mod. I’ve had mine since March, and boy let me take you.. this top of the line router was a little disappointing first. I follow the community so I was able to filter thru all the issues. I never disabled any of the features. I very happy with my RAX200. My one wi-if 6 device reached 900megs connected to it.
My WiFi 6 device works amazing too. How does one get the beta firmware? I've done everything else up to this point.

He’s a Netgear Mod.
Include your S/N with a brief description of your issue(s). My RAX200 had no ipv6 functionality with the last two firmware updates along with occasional lose of wi-fi and Ethernet.
