If you are using ath9k rate control, please try disabling that and use the minstrel-ht rate control instead. With a modern wpa_supplicant and kernel you can just disable HT in the supplicant config, by the way. # disable_ht: Whether HT (802.11n) should be disabled. # 0 = HT enabled (if AP supports it) # 1 = HT disabled # # disable_ht40: Whether HT-40 (802.11n) should be disabled. # 0 = HT-40 enabled (if AP supports it) # 1 = HT-40 disabled # # disable_sgi: Whether SGI (short guard interval) should be disabled. # 0 = SGI enabled (if AP supports it) # 1 = SGI disabled # # ht_mcs: Configure allowed MCS rates. # Parsed as an array of bytes, in base-16 (ascii-hex) # ht_mcs="" // Use all available (default) # ht_mcs="0xff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 " // Use MCS 0-7 only # ht_mcs="0xff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 " // Use MCS 0-15 only # # disable_max_amsdu: Whether MAX_AMSDU should be disabled. # -1 = Do not make any changes. # 0 = Enable MAX-AMSDU if hardware supports it. # 1 = Disable AMSDU # # ampdu_density: Allow overriding AMPDU density configuration. # Treated as hint by the kernel. # -1 = Do not make any changes. # 0-3 = Set AMPDU density (aka factor) to specified value. # disable_vht: Whether VHT should be disabled. # 0 = VHT enabled (if AP supports it) # 1 = VHT disabled # # vht_capa: VHT capabilities to set in the override # vht_capa_mask: mask of VHT capabilities # # vht_rx_mcs_nss_1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8: override the MCS set for RX NSS 1-8 # vht_tx_mcs_nss_1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8: override the MCS set for TX NSS 1-8 # 0: MCS 0-7 # 1: MCS 0-8 # 2: MCS 0-9 # 3: not supported -- Ben Greear <gree...@candelatech.com> Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com _______________________________________________ ath9k-devel mailing list ath9k-devel@lists.ath9k.org https://lists.ath9k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath9k-devel
