Hi Flavio,
 
You understanding is correct.
If you try to enable this feature on AP with only one enabled antenna you will 
get the error message like this: To enable ClientLink you need to at least 
enable antennas A and B.
I read somewhere that if one of the signals is fading the extra antenna might 
be used for redundancy, but again this is not mandatory.
 
Regards,
Oliver

Hi,

I was studying  about TxBeamforming configuration and I saw that some people 
recommend to enable the TxBeamforming using the GUI or CLI (config 802.11a 
beamforming global enable) as well as the 3 AP antennas (A,B,C) as MUST.

In theory TxBeamforming should not require the antenna C (middle one is only 
Rx) to be used since it´s a TX technology and it should only require the radios 
A and B. If the request was about MRC with optimum gain than I will agree that 
the 3 "antennas" (radio chains) should be enabled to "hear" the client with the 
3 receivers.

Any comments about it?

I´m afraid of to get this kind of question that you can´t really verify if it´s 
working and the configuration that I saw people recommending does not look 
correct.

BR,
FC
