Horrible 2.4GHz Speed
I just exchanged my Google wifi at best buy for this new netgear RAX120. Unfortunately I can't exchange again or get a refund... I am stuck with this router that is worse. When using 2.4 within 10 fee...
- Yes I found the issue. If you plug anything into the usb ports on the router it kills 2.4g. I unplugged my hdd from it and it instantly fixed it
I got it two weeks ago. Yes, 5G works fine. When using 2.4G and looking right at my router with line-of-sight from 30 ft away it drops to unusable link speeds or doesn't work at all. I also noticed that I drop like 20-30% of packets as well when it does it.
I would open a support case since it's only 2 weeks old.
Did you have any luck? I have the same issue? I have terrible wifi speeds on my rax120. A speed test straight from the router is good but wifi it is crawling.

Good (but bad) to know. I'll have to let others know with that issue on that router.
