Hi all

Trying to fix a weird problem.

My 5G-1 seems to always be at least 10dBm lower (sometimes 15-20 lower) compared to the 5G-2 network. I can't work out what's going on. This is perhaps related to another problem I am trying to fix with Wi-Fi: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/rt-ac5300-all-wifi-networks-reverting-to-20mhz-bandwidth.48500/

Running 384.6

When manually adjusting the channel of each 5ghz band, it seems that on 5Ghz-1 the lower channel numbers have much worse strength compared to the higher channels. The highest channel 48 is 3dbm weaker than 5Ghz-2 at channel 165. The lowest channel 36 is about 20dbm lower.
 
Lower channel power limits power to 250 milli watts, where upper are 1000 milli watts, as a result you will see this difference.
