EAP670's higher latency and network variance than old EAP245's
Hello,
I recently "upgraded" my home network from EAP245's to EAP670's primarily for in home wireless VR streaming. This use case is highly sensitive to network latency and variance so I use a variety of tools to keep an eye on it while streaming. After the upgrade, I noticed that both latency and variance increased with the supposed upgrade. Latency has gone from ~2ms to ~5ms, what was ~0ms of variance has gone up to ~5ms (occasionally spiking all the way up to 8ms), and whereas with my EAP245's I suffered 0 dropped frames, with the EAP670's I'll drop a good handful.
So worse performance all around excluding throughput.
Running with a controller and I still have 1 EAP245 on the network that I used for these comparisons.
Is this due to an immature firmware or something? Or mis-configuration? Anything I should look into?
Thanks!
Edit 1: After running the AI optimizer variance has improved but is still not great and latency remains ~double than what it was with the old EAP245's. ~5ms

Controller: OC200 v1.0
Controller Firmware: 1.26.3 Build 20230906 Rel.36269

Current Controller Firmware: 1.28.1 Build 20231117 Rel.58466
Someone on Reddit reported that they had issues with that Sept OC200 firmware, so I upgraded to beta. Will test in a bit.
Router: ER605 v1.0

Fast, AI, and Dual 11k were all disabled. I just enabled fast and Dual 11k and tested: avg latency dropped to 4ms from 5ms, but jitter is still high and avg is still much higher than it was with the old APs.
