960 MBPS instead 1200

[Invisible-117]

Hello. I've just bought Netgear RAX41 and set it to 36 channel with 160 MHz width. With 2x2 mimo I should receive 1200 mbps, but I have only 960. Tested it with my MacBook Air M2 and iPhone 15 and they both have the same speed. Looks like it's not signal strength problem cause I placed my devices near the router and nothing has been changed. I have country code CA. First I thought it's some country restrictions but have not found any information about it. OFDMA turned off, MU MIMO turned on. Any ideas? Thank you.

The WAN and LAN ports on the RAX41 are limited to 1000 Mbps. No matter what the publicity says about WiFi, that device cannot get 1200 Mbps out of whatever connects you to the Internet.

Visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

That will show you what you can expect.
