Maybe someone with more Wifi knowledge can translate that into "expected outcomes" for you. You can't band steer with SSID because of that. It's a MIMO device (3x3 on 2.4GHz, 4x4 on 5GHz), but all the antennas (7) are planar and on the same PCB. And again, I'm not knowledgeable enough about Wifi, to understand what exactly they were doing from a radios standards point of view. Whether the whole thing is considered to be 11AC or what the hell it is. It would definitely seem to be planning for a higher transfer rate on 5GHz. And we don't really know, if the "characterization" of this mystery meat, is accurate or not. People may be reverse engineering by eye, rather than getting at least some specs from the <cough> source. Paul
