I have recently purchased the Mikrotik hap ax2, after being crazy about the Mikrotik hap ac2. It was the most feature powerful router that I could thing of.
However the anticipated greater excitement was replaced by disappointment!!!
To the technical stuff now.
My problem is the WIFI performance of ax2 in both bands, 2.4Ghz as well as 5Ghz.
This is the config of the ax2.
This is with the latest release candidate. But I had the same results with the latest stable version. I was hoping that the release candidate could have some fixes.

2025-12-10 20:23:29 dhcp,info defconf assigned 192.168.1.193 for 5A:....E Samsung-s-A52sWhen I can finally connect, I cannot get the maximum speed of my internet FTTH line (50mbps/5mbps). But let aside the internet speed. Let's compare to the lan speed.
I have installed an iperf3 app on the phone and I'm connecting as client to the 10.0.0.2 server (container)
This is the link information from my phone when I connect to 2.4Ghz. Again, my phone is less than a meter away from the router.

and the following screenshots for the 5Ghz band:

My final questions are these:
Should I return the device? (I don't want to)
Is it my setup? Is it the drivers-wifi chip combination of ax2?
What else could be wrong?
I'm open to suggestions.
