only 176/176 data rate with AP3865 WDS

[Ronald_Dvorak]

Hi, we just prepare the installation of a WDS link with model AP3865 on both sites with 2x AO-5D23009N-5GHz-23dBi-9degree antenna per AP.

I've configured the APs for 80MHz, ac-strict, 3dbm tx power.

The APs are right now in the lab (in the same room) but we only get a data rate of 176/176.
We are running latest code on the controller.

Any idea... we thought that with 2 antennas per AP (instaed of 3) we'd reach MCS#9 - 2x2x2, NGI, VHT80 = 780mbs.

Here a screenshot of the report - it's the second WDS link....

Interesting, I was just going to send you a case update asking which ports you had the antenna connected to. The TS showed Left, Right, Middle....

workaround = use left/middle antenna if only 2 antennas are connected to get a data rate of 780/780

Thanks Ron, we will take a look.

I've tried it now also in my lab with AP3825e (as I don't have AP3865 in my test enviroment) and get the same result.

Even with a 3rd antenna the value is the same - might be a error on the statistics view.
