AX50/3000 much slower than Netgear R7800 side-by-side w/AX NIC
I just installed the AX50 as a second AP (to be used exclusively with my AX devices), relegating the slower AC devices to my existing Netgear R7800. I am consistently getting wi-fi throughput of 100mbps more on the Netgear R7800, testing on a laptop with an intel AX200 card. The AX50 avgs 150-300mbps dl speed from farthest usage point (about 50ft away) to the closest (3 ft from antennas). The Netgear R7800 (An ac wifi router/AP) avgs 250-400+mbps with same laptop, same testing. I have tried auto settings, and manually choosing channels/width, but see no improvement. I bought this wifi router with expectation of AX increased performance on my 1gb service connection, and so far, I'm disappointed, of course that's it's much slower than my older ac access point.
Please advise possible best config, problem resolution. Thanks in advance.
