Re: Poor performance on 11ac

Actually it turns out it wasn't. I'm assuming regdomain.xml was 
overwritten in an update.

Looks like it has been failing to set the regdomain to AU and defaulting 
to US. I put your experimental regdomain back in a noticed that it will 
only connect at 11ng. When putting the default on in it mostly connects 
at 11ac but sometimes it only gets around 30mpbs and others around 
300mbps. With your regdomain it gets around 80mbps.

I created my own regdomain.xml a while ago (with the help of an LLM) 
that adds the 11ac to APAC2. This mostly connects via 11ac (sometimes 
via 11ng) and gets over 300mbps on a speedtest when connected at 11ac. I 
have just switched back over to this to resolve the speed issue.
