I bought Eax80 speed is capped at 90mbps
Does anyone know why when I installed my eax80 as an access point my Internet speed 400 mbps and after a couple of days is limited to 90mbps. I have tried downgraded to another version of the firmware...

Can you tell us a but more about your setup?
This Eax80 is in access point (wired to the router) mode? Or as a wifi repeater?
What is it connected to? The router? Modem?
- BefreakMar 26, 2024AspirantThe EAx80 is connected via wired to my router XR500 nighthawk which is connected to my modem also netgear. I also have my pc connected to This router directly which is how I know the speed from the provider is coming like it supposed to. Also notice that I have downgraded to different version of the firmware and the first 2 days the speed is top notch 400mbps after that is go down to 90mbps. This is speed tested via wireless connection
