AC1200 cuts 30Mbps off bridge speed
I set up an AC1200 as an access point wired by 4 pair Ethernet cable to the slave of a Ueevii bridge (from main router in office to AP on house). Testing speeds on a Android in the house I get 90Mbps connected wirelessly to the bridge and 60Mbps connected to 5GHz band of the AP. I was expecting the AP to boost the bandwidth or at least stay level, but why the 30Mbps drop?

OK. I found a Ueevii bridge system CPE5824WR
https://www.amazon.com/UeeVii-Bridge-Router-Kit-WiFi-dp-B0DTJRX1SF/dp/B0DTJRX1SF/ref=dp_ob_title_ce
with ports that support 1000Mbps.
My TP-Link C8 connected to Starlink modem is putting out 190Mbps. But Starlink plans commonly deliver only 100-300 Mbps, so I guess the TP-Link is doing its best. A beefier bridge should at least get me over 100Mbps in the house.
Good Luck.
OK, first I have to tell you I am not very tech savvy.
Main router in office is TP-Link C8.
Netgear AP router in house is Model 6 AX 1800 Dual Band AP WAX202.
BTW, the ports on the Ueevii bridge only handle 100Mbps.
Now, how do I check the LAN port for connection rate on the AP router?
If your Ueevii is only supporting of 100Mpbs, then this would be causing the bottle neck and slower speeds seen. You should get something to replace this unit that supports 1000Mpbs.
The WAX202 supports 1000Mpbs connection rates. If you connected the WAX to the TP Link, it should report it's connection rate there. The spec sheet for the WAX202 also gives supported LAN port connect
What model# NG product is this? R####? Extender?
Check the LAN port for connection rate, some older models didn't support 1000Mpbs.
If the port supports 1000Mpbs, be sure to user CAT6 LAN cable with 8 pairs.
