You're directly contradicting what @Hank21 stated here: https://community.tp-link.com/en/business/forum/topic/663452?replyId=1350934

The 22dBm broadcast beacon is due to the lack of AFC, so the radio is not permitted to broadcast at full power.

In addition, the datasheet for the EAP783 states the 6GHz antenna gain is 5dBm, not 6.

Lastly, this problem is not new, the EAP783 has behaved this way since it was released.

The 28 dBm you set is the EIRP (Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power), which is the final transmit power limited by regulations. The 22 dBm displayed on this page is the actual RF power. The difference of about 6 dB mainly comes from the gain of the EAP783’s built-in antenna (approximately 6 dBi). The calculation formula is: EIRP = actual RF power + antenna gain. Therefore, the actual power of 22 dBm plus the 6 dBi antenna gain exactly achieves your set target of 28 dBm EIRP. This is completely normal and not a malfunction.

 

This change was introduced in a recent firmware update, and we will explain this situation in the release notes going forward. Thank you all for your attention.

Sounds like the best answer is to enable AFC in the firmware.  Do you have a ETA?

Is anyone else experiencing the slow 2,4ghz speeds with this firmware?
