fastlane (using 1 radio dedicated to just router---extender communition) can sometimes help speeds and sometimes hurt them.
Reason for this is the 2.4ghz band isn't nearly as fast as the 5ghz band. So if you're using it for backhaul and there's interference, it can be the bottleneck. If its increasing your speed, awesome! Keep using it.
If you notice a slowdown, you can always swap them and see if the 5ghz works better as backhaul.
