Why is my 802.11ac rMBP connecting slower than my 802.11n MBP?


i've had late-2013 rmbp time, , bt home hub 5. both support 802.11ac.

network set 2 distinct ssids, 1 5ghz , 1 2.4ghz. hub set, on 5ghz, allow "a/n/ac 1300", max setting.

time i've noticed (by alt-clicking wifi icon in menu bar) speeds (relatively) slow on rmbp recently, compared when first got - used regularly "975mbps", etc, it's 150mbps 300mbps.

thing is, bought mid-2012 mbp daughter, , it's connected 5ghz network via 802.11n. when alt-click it's menu bar, tells me it's connected @ 450mbps!

both macs sitting right next each other, connected same network/ssid.

it's worth, hub set auto/smart channel (in case 48). mbp reports rssi of -44 dbm (the rmbp says -43 dbm). mbp has noise of -84 dbm (the rmbp states -93 dbm).

idea what's going on?

thanks!
