Poor Wireless Signal - AP10s

$

We have a client where we installed a UTM120 v5 (the new units) in his office with a single AP10. Because it worked so well, the client wanted use to install a similar setup at his home. We get another UTM120 v5, flashed it with the software ISO v9 (latest update) and installed a home license. Have 3 AP10s at his house.

Here's the problem. The AP10s are getting horrible signal strength. I'm standing 15 feet from the AP with direct line of sight, and I'm only getting 2 bars. He had not other wireless devices active in the area (he's in a remote location), but just for fun I changed the AP10s from Auto Channel to set channels (8 - 10), same issues. I also adjusted the TX Power from 100% to 75% and then back to see if there was an issue with that config, no difference.

Any suggestions on this issue? Is this faulty equipment (I doubt this since we have three APs with the same issue), firmware issue via v9? I do not believe its location / environment because, as stated above, there were no other active wireless devices and had perfect line of sight 10-15 feet away from unit.
