RAX80 as access point wifi slow over CenturyLink Fiber
Hello,
How can I get the most out of my wifi? Why can't I get the bandwidth maximum based on the service (wired connection)/connected speed of the wifi chip?
I have CenturyLink's 1Gbps (940Mbps) Fiber service, connected to their gateway/mode C3000Z in a wired home environment. I have the connection to my SX10 switch, then to my RAX80 router that I am using in Access Point mode to provide Wifi to my home. All hardwired connection (to gateway C3000Z, SX10 switch, and RAX80 get download/upload speeds of 900+Mbps all along the way). However, when I try to do wireless, I am only getting anywhere from 200-450Mbps down/up. I use the app Speedtest to test my bandwidth (wired/wireless alike).
Bandwidth I have gotten per item/chip:
Apple Iphone X - 314 down/450 up
Laptop with an Intel AC 7260 chip, connected at 866 Mbps (AC80mhz 2X2) - 250 down/300 up
Desktop with an Intel AC 9260 chip, connected at 1.7 Gbps (AC160mhz 2X2) - 300 down/300 up
Stuff I have tried:
Updated to most recent firmware (V1.0.1.70_1.0.30)
Did a factor restart
Turned on/off QOS/WMM
Enabled/unenabled Beamforming
Enabled/unenabled MU-MIMO
I currently have WPA2-PSA security (also tried it with no security)
AX is enabled, but do not have anything with an AX card to test.
Anything else you can think of, to help me get closer to the speed I feel I should (866Mbps on Iphone and Laptop, and 940Mbps on Desktop)?

I have a very similar issue. RAX80 with AP mode and ISP Fiber (940up/down). Speeds from the RAX80 ethernet are OK but wifi speed is not great. On Galaxy S20 in AX mode and just a few feet from the RAX80 I can barely get 200Mbs upload and download around 350. Device is connected at 1.2Gbps. I had much better performance from older routers and beginning to regret my purchase of this device now.
