Very low performance on 2.4Ghz interface after upugrade to 6.36

Sat Jul 30, 2016 9:27 pm

I recently upgraded my hAP ac router to RouterOS version 6.36. I had some issues with it though, but I solved them:
http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php ... 35#p550035

Now I notice a terribly low performance on my 2.4Ghz interface. Fortunately I still have the 5Ghz link running reliably and fast.
The radio conditions are great: SNR=49dB.
But than, the VHTMCS selected for the downstream is so low, given the radio conditions. And I'm sure it was not like this before the upgrade. An by low speed, I mean low. We're talking about few Mbps with a lot of lag too.

The conditions are similar for my Windows based Laptop with Broadcom WiFi chip and with my phone. Only the 5Ghz is usable now. So the client and the chipset does not seem to make any difference.

This seems to be a problem not on the hAP itself but with the radio spectrum. I changed the channel and the performance is not back to normal. I'll monitor it in the next couple of days. Man 2.4GHz band is just so crowded these days...

I can now confirm that this was caused from an interference from other channels in the 2.4GHz band. It's solved.
