So as you can see, quality of some channels is very poor. I have made also spectrum analyzes and there is no big noice or even channels are not loaded. As you can see from outputs I have also changed power setting to 15 dBm (2019-03-03 15:33:01 108+ 108+ 18 15 P-), but still channels are not stable.
Do you have any idea, why quality is poor on 5 GHz, please.
