[XA2+][SFOS3.3.0.16] If on AP speed rate 36Mbps is disabled connection speed dropes to 2-5Mbps.

Was poking around in my router setting and decided to try disabling all "Basic Rates B" and "Basic Rates A/G" except 54Mbps (it don't have newer n or ac or 5GHz). First thing I did was running ookla speed test on an android phone, it went well and showed about 40Mbps. After a while I was reading mail and smelled something was up, so ran speed test on the SF phone. To my surprise it showed puny 2Mbps. To investigation! (not really, just more poking):

54Mbps and 48Mbps enabled: android - 40ish, SF - 4ish (Mbps)

54Mbps, 48Mbps and 36Mbps enabled: android - 40ish, SF - 30ish (Mbps)

--phones at about the same distance from AP, tests ran a few times each change on both phones, SF tested the same with native browser and firefox--

Is it a bug, hardware limitation or a feature?
