MikroTik HAP AC2 - unable to get 867 Mbit/s on 5 Ghz - LOCAL network

I have the same issue as the OP, it seems that the laptop card (Intel 8265) cannot connect on 2 antennas for TX, only for RX resulting a 433/866 connection with laptop at 1m from the router. The channel 0/1 for RX/TX are on (in the HT tab), I tried with couple of different TX power (10dbm, 13dbm, 17dbm, 21dbm) in the “all rates fixed” mode. No matter what I do, it does not connect to the second antenna.

Any advice would be welcome.

Choose “No SMPS” is MIMO power save mode on Advanced Intel® Wireless Adapter Settings

__

Auto SMPS (default): The client decides automatically what SMPS mode to apply depends on different conditions.
Dynamic SMPS: The client keeps only one antenna active. The access point (AP) must send request to send (RTS) packet to trigger the client to wake the sleeping radios/antenna before sending MIMO packets.
Static SMPS: The client keeps only one antenna active and the AP cannot send MIMO packets to the client.
No SMPS: The client always keeps all antennas active and the AP can send MIMO packets to the client.

perfect - this works - auto smps to be changed to no smps.
on an intel ax201 wifi 6 card, fyi.
