But like you, not so much in the backyard despite it passing through through far fewer obstacles. I don't think the metal siding on my house is doing me any favours as well.

Wall mounted as well. One day, maybe I'll consider ceiling mount to make it cleaner and have better positioning. No idea if that solves the outdoor thing though.
The rooms directly above the AP only have around 1/4 of the speed as the family room where its mounted. I assumed it had to do with the wiring from the heated flooring in the upstairs bathrooms.
I saw there's a lot of metal grids in the stucco walls so I've assumed that's what is basically blocking the signal from inside to outside.
I think the previous home owner also attempted to do certain things "fancier" and thus there's all sorts of extra metal in my walls from intercom systems and wiring, straps (vs staples), wiring for heated floors, duct work, lots of indoor fluorescent fixtures/metal box housings that go with those etc.
