- The router reset to its factory default settings due to the NAND flash bad block issue.

Assuming you are located in the US, so FCC is applicable: As per the FCC S59-4891 applicable to the Amazon Fire TV (CL1130):
The range 5180.0...5240.0 MHz (Ch. 36..48) and 5745.0...5825.0 MHz (CH. 149...161) do indeed cover ZERO DFS channels - I fear you dig at the wrong construction zone.

As per the above, lack of a FCC permissive change for the Amazon Fire TV box, ... no change.

Basically you will see differences in different environments due to the antenna layout differences, one might perform better than the other in certain home layouts and locations. If it’s a stark difference then maybe you just got a lemon.
As for range I’m not sure what you mean by that? Are you measuring the RSSI/dBM or real world throughput. And if so with what devices.

Re: Nighthawk RAX120 Firmware Version 1.0.1.86
Note that HT160 is more susceptible to interference and AX uses 1024 QAM which makes it even more sensitive to noise so AX clients might drop to AC level link rates at mid/long range depending on your home layout and construction materials. Just use HT80 on AX and see if that helps, HT160 is nice for benchmarks but HT80 is better for stability especially when using non-DFS channels. I’m on HT160 but I there aren’t many 5Ghz APs in my area so it’s not a hassle as the ones that do exist are too far to have a noticeable impact.
Lastly try disabling MU-MIMO to see if that helps as some Broadcom based clients have issues with it on.
