AP One Enterprise Max Speed 110Mbps

I just completed an experiment standing right next to an AP One Enterprise. I used two devices for this test:

  1. An iPhone XS for speed testing
  2. An iPad with the AP Controller loaded so I was absolutely sure that the iPhone was connected to the test subject access point prior to running each test

With the AP booted into firmware 3.5.4-1681 I was able to get a speed of over 300Mbps (internet speed)

With the AP booted into firmware 3.6.0-1805 I was only able to get a speed of 110Mbps

I repeated the test and confirmed that firmware 3.5.4 is allowing faster speeds than 3.6.0.

Then I repeated the entire experiment on an AP One AC Mini with the exact same results. Firmware 3.6.0 was limited to 110Mbps but firmware 3.5.4 was not.

Perhaps there is something unique about my network causing this, but the firmware version is the trigger. Any ideas? I suppose the quick answer is to run 3.5.4 on all my access points but ideally there is a better solution.
