Topology, the only troubleshooting steps they have recommended is factory-resetting the router.
In addition to the usual - reflashing the firmware, checking connection speed at modem, plugging device directly into LAN ports instead of through switch, changing cables, shutting off the AX feature on the radio, shutting off the radio entirely, etc.

After a factory reset, make sure to not enable: traffic monitoring, qos, parental controls, disney circle, or any other traffic monitoring setup. They disable the ctf (cut through forwarding). this cuts speeds drastically.
Not saying it'll help as I've experienced the same issue on my RAX200 but It seems to be working fine now on gigabit. I'm on version 1.0.1.12. After I installed it, I factory reset it, then I only enabled the basic settings such as ssid/password/lan reservations.

Plemans, with QoS (WMM) disabled, do you experience a significant decrease in WiFi performance?
P.S.: Such a decrease may be expected, according to the following article, which notes that WiFi is limited to 54Mbps when QoS (WMM) is disabled: Don't Mess With WMM!

I just didn't ever enable QoS. I left it as it was from a factory reset. don't disable WMM as its required to hit speeds >54mbps.
