my AX8 RAX80 slow on WiFi
My new AX8 Nighthwak RAX 80 can not make more than 150Mbs on WiFi. The speed coming to the router is 920 Mbs download and 950 Upload. The firmware was updated befote the instalation. The range simce to be fine but the speed 4 times less than expected.
Please, help. If I can't fix next coupe days I consider return.

That is as fast as you will get with many wifi clients.
Your router can have the fastest wifi on the planet, but that does not mean that everything will work at that speed.
Think of it in terms of a motor racing track. A track where cars can run at 200 miles an hour won't magically make bicycles go that fast.

You will have a hard time finding any wifi device that delivers those speeds.
And this is before we start talking about the speed of the test site you are using.
Before you worry about wifi speeds, investigate what you get with wired devices.
Here are some sources on wifi speeds that I have stumbled across over the years:
