This was our finding as well. Our Ubiquiti Bullet is part of our Wirie Pro system. Unlike your typical laptop or smartphone WiFi radio software, the Wirie was able to use the Bullet to find a bunch of access points and let us choose which to use. The one our laptops and phones chose based on signal strength or whatever had too much traffic and was virtually unusable, but choosing a different access point produced abundant speed.
Frankly, I am not sure if that was the Bullet or the Wirie software. The Bullet antenna was damaged during our haulout and I have found it to be unrepairable. The internal connection between the electronics and antenna are all potted for outdoor use, so once it breaks it's done.
