Wave 2 mu mimo support is required on both the access point and client device to work.
Wave 2 4 4 mu mimo.
4 1 how wave 2 works to realize these benefits mu mimo uses closed loop beamforming to turn multipath from a disadvantage into an advantage.
Considering that the average household has upwards.
Multi user multiple input multiple output technology better known as mu mimo a k a.
Two 2x2 2 stream client devices.
The clients then each send an easily computed frame back that specifies csi channel state information based on.
The importance of mu mimo can be easily explained with the help of an example.
A 3 3 mimo access point or even better a 4 4 mimo one is only advisable for wave 2 models.
Mu mimo which stands for multi user multiple input multiple output was created to support environments where multiple users are trying to access a wireless network at the same time.
Wave 2 represents the second wave of 802 11ac chipsets and supports mu mimo multi user mimo.

Wave 1 phy rate maxes out at 1 3 gbps while wave 2 can be 2 34 gbps.
One 3x3 3 stream client device and one 1x1 1 stream client device.
Next gen ac or ac wave 2 allows a wi fi router to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously.
Up to three 1x1 1 stream client devices.
Wpeq 450ac helps premium wi fi routers gateways set top boxes and range extenders to support more devices and more demanding applications in the connected home.
So given a specific area where wave 1 su mimo was in place turning on wave 2 mu mimo could potentially drop the client s associated data rates by a huge margin by dropping out of 256 qam and lowering to a 64 qam mcs rate instead.
This in turn would lower the available time in the frequency each client now takes longer to transmit.
This decreases the time each device has to wait for a signal and dramatically speeds up your network.
An mu mimo enabled ap transmits a sounding signal to the client devices in the network.
Qca9984 4 4 11ac wave 2 mu mimo 5ghz mini pcie module.
One 2x2 2 stream client device and up to two 1x1 1 stream client devices.
Even if the throughput was 50 lower than the theoretical phy rate for wave 2 in theory it would still be above 1 gbps.
