Netgear WAX220 support (almost complete)

Hi, what WiFi speed is everyone getting with the WAX220?
I get about ~600 Mbps (iperf3) with my laptop right next to the WAX220, not sure if this is normal

(I am on 23.05.5)

around 800

Are you talking about upload or download? You should be getting full gigabit speeds download (assuming your wireless network card can handle at least 1,201 Mbps) but your upload is limited to about 400 Mbps on OpenWRT 23.05.5. There is a fix in OpenWRT 24.10.x that allows full multi-gig speeds up and down. See my comment from October 14 above.

If you are not achieving full gigabit over Wi-Fi, try using the 5GHz band with 160MHz channels. If that doesn't work, try replacing you laptop NIC with an Intel AX200 or similar chip that supports 160MHz channels and is a 2X2.

Anyone else getting issues with Macs when video / audio calling when WiFi 6 is enabled?

Like people will say my speech drops out a lot. But switching to WiFi 5 totally fixes it
