now the test result. yes. it assocs with VHT160 SGI in my case. but performance is as expected identical to VHT80 Am 14.02.2017 um 00:12 schrieb Ben Greear: On 02/13/2017 02:48 PM, Sebastian Gottschall wrote: Am 13.02.2017 um 20:56 schrieb Ben Greear: On 02/11/2017 10:21 AM, Sebastian Gottsch

So, it appears that the ath10k QCA9984 4x4 160Mhz chip can do 4x4 MIMO at VHT80, but it can do only 2x2 MIMO at VHT160/80+80. When configuring a peer, we need to tell the firmware the number of spatial streams of the peer at VHT160 and at VHT80 and lower. They are not the same value. I cannot
