BE86U worse wifi latency vs old ax86s

Hey,
I previously had an ax86s as a solo router but was looking to improve coverage soo I ended up getting a BE86U. I set up the be86u as main router and the old ax86s as an aimesh node.

The setup has been working stable without any issues, however I noticed wifi latency on the BE86U was a good 1-2ms higher just by running speed tests on multiples devices.

Soo I decided to run pings directly to the router while on 5ghz wifi (ax201 client)
Average ~2ms max 10ms after 100 pings.
I then forced the client to the node (ax86s 192.168.50.66) and did the same test
Average 1ms, max 6ms.

I have a pretty simple network setup with no vlans and a single ssid.
I've tried disabling wifi7 and messing with professional settings but no change, BE86U noticably higher latency. Same goes for phones and a wifi7 laptop I have. Speeds are about the same between the two considering distance, etc

Any ideas on why?
