I am creating a wireless point-multipoint network using SXT SA5 ac (RBSXTG-5HPacD-SA) as AP-bridge and SXTsq 5 ac (RBSXTsqG-5acD) as station-bridge. I have 1 AP and 6 stations about 2km away in a 40 deg angle spread. 4 of the stations have 1 or 2 IP cameras connected to them and the other 2 have NVRs to view the cameras.
While I had only 2 stations set up the connections were fine and was getting speeds (speedtest.net) of over 70Mbps down and over 20Mbps up. However when connected another 2 stations all hell broke loose and all stations dropped the CCQ to less than 20% and connections were coming and going all the time.
Have tried increasing the power of the Stations but only got results with 1 station at hi power. When 2 or more stations are set to hi power the quality drops again. Tried using WDS but did not help.
I am attaching the configuration of the AP and of one station (other stations have same config but different IP). Also attaching some screen shots from Winbox of AP and stations (this was after messing with the power levels and other settings so they don’t match the configuration exactly.

Any help please? Am I doing something dumb?
I have switched to 20Mhz b/w and used NV2 instead of 80211. Now it is much better but CCQs of stations is still around 80%/50%.
Is there any way to improve CCQ more as feed from cameras is still not stable enough.
