I use the RE700X as a dedicated service (SSID_EXT) to my 8 client AV system.  The 700's 2.4 GHz speed and strength to a client device are easily measured.  Compared to the values from my IP router alone, the 700 reduces speed by 12% (505 to 440 Mbps) but increases signal strength by more than 10x (-60 to -48 dBms; negative log scale).  With the 700's Gigabit ethernet port connected by cat 8 to the same client, I cannot directly measure speed or strength.   But I assume that while both values are limited by the AX3000 specification, they must be greater than the WiFi values.  Any comments?
