R7000 -> RAX80 vlan is horrible
The issue is simple and yet impossible to solve probably without a firmware fix.
I have a perfectly working R7000. I bought a RAX80 thinking to get some boost in coverage/wifi.
I used exaclty the same settings and this is the result:
The download speed is fine (speedtest) but the upload speed is really bad (1%). When I am doing a video call it constantly lags and throws issues during video calls.
With https://packetlosstest.com/ I can see +70% packets drop constantly.
This is my setup
Outside line -> Netgear (vlan)
The funny part is if I just use the RAX80 as AP without vlan it works perfect
Outside line -> Netgear R7000 (vlan) -> Netgear RAX80
Basically VLAN is broken :\

What is the firmware version you are using the RAX80?

1.02.76- kitkat007AspirantKind of scary how netgear doesn’t even care about the obvious broken firmware for vlan.
Atleast remove its functionality or don’t market with it.
