AX1800 weak 5Ghz signal

Model: SXK30B3 / AX1800

Hardware Version SXR30
Firmware Version V4.0.1.100

Wireless settings:

Region North America
2.4G Channel Auto ( 1 )
2.4G Mode Up to 574Mb/s
5G Channel 149+153+157(P)+161
5G Mode

 

When I'm anywhere in my house, including standing right in front of the base station, my 2.5Ghz signal strength is excellent and my 5Ghz signal strength is about 2/5 bars. Speed on 5Ghz suffers accordingly.

 

Thoughts?
