You have additional pigtails and different antennas for sure. The difference in configuration need to be checked carefully too.

You can't just replace one radio with integrated antenna, with another one without antenna.
So the difference is in the anntena. Maybe you forget to install it? :D

That antenna has electrical downtilt, so in some cases, a lot of them, it will perform bad. Try tilting antenna and see if some of the cpe's will get better signal. You might need to install it higher or lower...

Agree the downtilt is most likely the issue here. Ubnt antennas are excellent but most have an electrical downtilt so they need to be considerbly higher than the stations they serve
