Archer C9 weak range

Hi everyone,
I bought yesterday an Archer C9 (v3) and am really unhappy with its range. I had a TPLink WDR4300 and had some problems with its range (on 2.4GHz), and fixed it by buying 3 9dB antennas and updating its firmware (to op3nwrt), but the 5GHz coverage was bad, so after much reading, everyone was telling Archer C9 is the definitive solution. So far, I am on the same room as I was with the older and the signal is weaker. I tried putting my 9dB antennas and still not much better.
I then installed Acrylic Wi-Fi Home to monitor what was going on, and have a surprise: whenever I switch channel (I tested all 13 channels for 2.4GHz, I have during about 5 seconds a much stronger signal then it goes down by about 10 units.
The best channel here is 4. I tried with different signal power values, but still have a poor signal.
Any clues ??? Firmware version 1.3.0 build 20161018.
