Upgrade to WiFi6e standard
Does anyone know if the RAX120 will be able to be updated to the new WiFi6e standard?

Did you know that RAX120 even failed the Wifi 6 certification?

RAX80 and RAX120 were released long before the WiFi 6 certification requirements were fixed. Many device makers don't submit their devices for the certification. Also, many relatively early released chipsets might not have the last bells and whistles to pass. Not uncommon with pre-standard devices.
