Thinking out loud here, but wouldn't the ping fill test work sort of like a
denial of service attack? Requesting that many responses from the AP I
would assume hurt the performance of the device in general. Now if you are
hitting a device on the other side it should not affect the AP.
A better test might be to start a ftp upload to a host one the far side
network and then start a ftp download at the same time.
Interested to see what you figure out on this. This part caught my eye also
in reading the documentation.

Exactly, which makes it full duplex since it does not have to share the
pipe between sending and receiving. The question is, why is the throughput
worse?
