Performance problems with a 2nd 3-pack

I bought a brand new Deco M5 3-pack. Works wonderfully! But I would like to extend the signal to my driveway by putting a 4th unit in the (attached) garage. While I was watching prices, I found a used 3-pack for sale - same exact thing I already have. The price was good and I bought it. It seems to have been well maintained, and the former owner states it was used as normal, just replacing to go to a different solution. But heck, now that I have 3 new units, might as well hook 'em all up, right?I have gotten all three onto my network with no trouble. But I was seeing some funky speed test results. Basically some really slow results in certain locations, although not always consistent. I disconnected one unit and then another and the funkiness continued. When I disconnected the last unit, my rock stable wonderful WiFi returned. What could the issue be? Does the unit have something wrong with it? Was its location too close (a room away) to another unit? Some other third thing?Ideas are appreciated. I have a 40/40 fiber optic connection. Normal speed tests show 32-39. The abberations I was seeing intermittently were like 8/2.
