Tests Scenario & Setup :
During my previous testings on powerful device like the AX86U and XT8, which even comes with a 2.5Gbps port, it seems I wasn't able to test the device's performance to the fullest since those iPerf3 tests was limited to local lanport max speed of 1Gbps. With this 2Gbps port setup, it helps to test the device's potential further, and I'm glad to see improvement compared to previous testings, especial the AX200 on AX86U's 5G radio, which is able to hit 1.5Gbps iPerf3 test mark on the 2Gbps WANport .
