If you have access to the device, reset to default config.
If firewall rules are still missing then, netinstall using latest stable version.

Exactly.

There is always a bottleneck.
And if the choke point is someplace where you have zero control over, you're done. Nothing will help then unless you completely redesign the complete chain (at which point there will be another bottleneck elsewhere).

Re: QCA9880 Dual-band WIFI-kaart Mini PCIe in RBM33G - MikroTik

In my view, here is your problem:

The QCA9880 was not R11e-5HacT, but ordered on Amazon since QCA98xx should work on a MikroTik

Clearly it doesn't. Not when mounted on a non-Mikrotik PCIe card.
