Hi All.
Not sure if this should be in beginner basics (i'm learning or here, so apologies about that !
I am trying to maximise the performance of my devices (as per topic).
With the SXT LTE connected directly via ethernet to my laptop i get the most i would expect out of the LTE:
Testing from EE Mobile (213.205.194.99)...
Selecting best server based on latency...
Hosted by RapidSwitch (Maidenhead) [22.33 km]: 60.87 ms
Testing download speed........................................
Download: 45.71 Mbits/s

Upload: 6.22 Mbits/s
The SXT LTE is configured as per the default, its running on 192.168.88.1, with DNS and DCHP on it ... basic firewall and NAT rules.
LTE signal isnt great, but its doing the job:
# software id = EV9L-N93I
#
status: online
revision: chip:2.0 fw:0.1.2.3
current-operator: 234,30 (ECI 4765442/ eNBI 18615)
current-cellid: 2
earfcn: 1667 (band 3, bandwidth 20Mhz, DL freq 1851.7Mhz)
imei: 356159060277682
imsi: 234304132523119
uicc: 152683354122475246
rssi: -85dBm
rsrp: -118dBm
rsrq: -13dB
sinr: 4dB
I then swap out the ethernet cable from my laptop into a wAP AC, this is configured as a WISP AP in bridge mode, getting its IP from the SXT, WLAN etc is setup as the defaults, and my devices can connect to the WLAN no problems, but performance is speed is consitently ~50% slower on a speedtest:

I did initially think it could be a problem with the cables between the SXT and the wAP via the RJ45 connector block, but a bandwidth test between the two shows the results I would expect:
# aug/12/2016 20:50:15 by RouterOS 6.36
# software id = EV9L-N93I
#
status: running

rx-10-second-average: 97.5Mbps
rx-total-average: 82.4Mbps

random-data: no
direction: receive
rx-size: 1500
Can anyone please give me any pointers as to where to look in the wAP config to try to resolve this ? I am sat right next to the AP and the stats for my device connection are good.
Thanks in advance.
