it seem sometime i have higher upload than download depending where i am in the house, mostly on the 2.4 band
do you see any issue with this config? if anything missing, ask
here it is, i didnt think other stuff were needed other that wifi config

higher upload than download: How do you test? It happens quite often if measured via internet speed servers. It’s not OK that it happens, but the test chain is too long to differentiate causes.
using “channel-width=20/40mhz-XX” and “frequency=2437” gives your device the full right to pick the wrong frequency, as it can take any channel. There is seldom lack of interference if 40MHz wide channels are used in 2.4 GHz. The initial selection of the Mikrotik cannot be trusted, as this just happens with the RF spectrum around in a split second. Check and measure the RF spectrum (“Freq Used”, “Snooper”) for a while and do the selection yourselves. Maybe you are lucky to be able to select 40MHz Ce or eC. Normally we are already happy with a clean 20 MHz wide channel.
Check the information in the wireless “Registration” while wondering around and doing some up- or download. Check the values for Rx Rate and TX Rate (things like “144Mbps-20MHz/2S/SGI”, the PHY rate) , and the signal strength, SNR and CCQ. (CCQ is a few seconds delayed as it is averaged). Those are the “wifi” performance indicators. As the signal strength gets lower, you will see the CCQ go lower and also the PHY rates. If CCQ or PHY rate go lower at high signal strength something else than being too far away from the AP is happening. (Too strong AP power, reflection in a corner or metal of other object, interference from other devices (should have been excluded by the previous step)) , …)
