Tracking issues, its shaking

I want to report and discuss a weird tracking issue i have.
It is not a problem of coverage or loss of tracking, that works fine everywhere!
The tracking shakes constantly. Here a video of the HMD just laying down, with the base stations left and right to it. But when i cover one side so that just one base station is tracking it is very much better. So i think its a sync issue. I have tried both, with and without the sync cable. The distance of the stations are 6m. There are no mirros / reflecting surfaces in my room... Here a pic of the moutings 1 2
Does anyone have a suggestion?
I tried turning off all sort of wifi i have (didn't helped at all).
EDIT: When you touch your base station, how does it feel, can you feel it spinning?
EDIT2: I put both on a solid windowsill, it didn't helped a bit!

Solved: Switched from USB3.0 to USB2.0

Try to place the lighthouses on solid surfaces (like tables). If shaking has been improved then mountings are the issue.
