I have two EAP225:
TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor v1
TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor v3
I already checked the network cables by connecting them directly to my computer and I have 300 megabytes on both, the problem is that the router's WiFi only gives me 40-60 megabytes in the 2.4 G network and in 5G hopefully 80 megabytes.
Any idea what the problem could be? I have tried to export its configurations to show them but I don't know how to do it. If you can explain them to me, I will gladly attach them.
Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:

Are you using a 2x2 wifi-5/6 device to measure the speeds? (Most smartphones are only 1x1)
fwiw, the EAP225 is a 2x2 AC wifi device with underpowered QCA95xx chipset. imho, you will get best speeds using stock firmwares.
If you change the 5 GHz wifi to use 80 MHz bandwidth, you may be able to raise the speed above 80 Mbps. Unlikely you will achieve 450+ Mbps with OpenWrt btw.
Try changing the mode. Wireless N only supports up to 40 MHz
This fix for version V3 but nor for the version V1.
Perhaps check if the missing 80 MHz issue exist in older OpenWrt 21 and 22. (Do no 'keep settings' and make sure you select the correct squashfs-sysupgrade file to prevent bricking your v1)
Otherwise, raise a bug report. fwiw, don't expect a fix real soon.

(I can see bug reports for EAP225 v3. None for v1)
