RAX120 using Disabled DHCP as Access point are slow

Hi all,
I have purchased 5 of the RAX120 one as the main router with DHCP on, and 4 as access point only with DHCP disabled. But however the wifi speed with the 4 routers are seen to be capped at around 29mb/s, but when wired it goes above 750mb/s. Main router top speed is also 750mb/s. I am not sure what I have done wrong, this is my upgrade from R9000*5 as they were resetting from reboot (firmware issues).

Any advise would be appreciated. Thank you
