Poor signal from AP902 on 5Ghz was created by psketch
I'm getting very poor signals on 5Ghz network from my AP902. It doesn't seem to matter which channel I'm using, but if I put my laptop liternally right next to my AP902, I only get about -50db, whereas next to my 2860AC, I see about -10db. 2.4Ghz network from the same AP is fine. Signal shows the same on both Acrylic and Inssider. Tx Power in the GUI is set to 100%. I've tried different channels, including swapping those from the 2860AC and 902 over, so it's not a channel problem. Any ideas?

You're using the right aerials? (the ones it comes with!)

Might be a fault then; 5Ghz won't get coverage like 2.4Ghz but like for like shouldn't be much different from another 5Ghz product... though if it works fine, I just ignore signal strength.
