Asus USB-AC56 on Vu+ Solo2

Hi!
I have two Wi-Fi USB adapters Asus USB-N13 (rt8192) and Asus USB-AC56 (rt8812)
I've bought AC56 for better perfomance. But result was terrible.
When I connected AC56 to laptop in the same place, signal strength and quality at all was perfect.
How it could be? AC56 has external antenna...

Because, as EVERY hardware, it works because there is a software driver that make it work. Hardware for itself is insignificant.

My earlier tests showed a huge difference in my case

Try to use USB extension cable and put the usb wifi in the best place.
Away from the receiver.
(Half a meter was already enough)
If you put USB Wifi directly into the receiver there is a great possibility of disturbance in the work.
 
Thanks for replies!
To clarify the situation:

I tried to connect USB-AC56 directly and through extension cable that came with. (USB-N13 that I used before was inserted direct in backplate of Solo2)
Also tried different channel width 20-40MHz.
On 5Ghz result is worse. So for discovering of the problem I chose 2,4 Ghz range.
After some attempts I thought that USB-AC56 is defective. So I took laptop to that place and test connection with USB-N13 and USB-AC56. And USB-AC56 showed much better speed and signal strength. But when I connected it to Solo2 with supplied extension cable and place it exactly at the same position where was laptop... results are in the first post(((
After that I thought there is some problem in the driver...

AP - Ubiquiti UAP-AC-LR.
On the weekend I'm going to try to configure my laptop Wi-Fi adapter as AP for testing. So will post results.
 
I didn't find a solution... That's why I sold USB-AC56. Still using USB-N13 for Internet connection and I'm planning to use the cable.
