RAX 120 8x8 MIMO is not enabled?

Hello,

 

When I test with 2 4x4 ac2 MU-MIMO clients I do not get full MU-MIMO. Looks like the router is only using 4x4.

clients: https://www.shop.compex.com.sg/product-page/wle1216vx

 

When I test with 2 2x2 AC2 MU-MIMO clients I get the same speed as with a 4x4 router.

clients: https://www.shop.compex.com.sg/product-page/wlt674

 

Is the the 8x8 chipset not working yet?

What client's devices did you use when you came up with the 5000mbit claim?

 

Thanks

 

Herman

I was googling a bit and I gues the https://www.shop.compex.com.sg/product-page/wlt639 has 8x8 sounding, but does that work allready on the router?

 

Thanks

8x8 sounding support I believe needs to be client side. I know some client chips especially some newer Qualcomm ones advertise 8x8 sounding.
