This was a great hint, everything works as hoped. Thank you very much!
I get around 156 Mbits/sec doing some light testing using iperf3 in
client mode and around 15Mbit/s - more than enough for the stuff im doing.

Usually you are very right in this regard and i even gave the same
speech a few times to others.
As i have written, i have a very specific use case where i need this a
few **hours** a year. The speed is not relevant for this use case. Think
about testing something mostly using cable-connected vm-desktop-clients
in a lab enviroment for a day or two and then connect a Android/iOS
device for a few minutes using the hostap-wifi, to test if some basics
work there, DNS-Filtering or so for example.
As written i dont want to replace my sophisticated Unifi wifi
infrastructure with the hostap mode. Just some tinkering a few times a year.
Cheers
Jan
