I was using the following network configuration for the past years at a private house:
ISP -> RB-750 Router -> unmanaged switch -> 951Ui-2HnD as AP (x2 - one on each floor)
My ISP provides me 100 Mbps bandwidth, and speedtest.net actually gives me 90+ result via a wired connection to the switch. However at my desk over WiFi at a relatively close distance from the 951Ui-2HnD i get something like 35 Mbps.
I decided to upgrade my APs to cAP AC (RBcAPGi-5acD2nD) hoping to get more bandwidth over WiFi (5Ghz support).
I used the "WISP AP" configuration to set up the AP in bridge mode + configured (or at least tried) the wlan1 interface in order to support 2 Ghz.
However after placing the cAP AC at exactly the same spot where the old 951Ui-2HnD used to be (wall mount) and measuring the actual bandwidth from my desk I get considerably worse results - about 25-20 Mbps on 5Ghz and only 15 on 2 Ghz. Tested this several times, results are consistent.
I hope I am doing something wrong. Please advise.
