I have search for the correct settings and everyone says to set TX Antenna Chains to 1+2+3 and RX Antenna Chains to 1+3. I am running firmware 23503 which is the latest. The only settings I have for TX are 1,1+2,1+3 and for RX I have 1,1+2,1+3 and 1+2+3 which seem to be the opposite of what should be available. What could be going on? I currently have TX set to 1+3 and RX set to 1+2+3. I have done quite a bit of searching but everything I find says my settings should be the opposite which is not possible with the choices I have now.
It is a 2x2:2 device, ie 2 tx streams, 2 rx streams, and 2 antennas so any setting with 3 chains has no effect.
It should come up with the right chain setting as default and I guess that is 1+3, chain 2 is mostly used for those routers which has an additional rx antenna, definitely not for tx on a 300Mbps radio.

1+2/1+2, 1+2/1+3, 1+3/1+3, or 1+3/1+2 though as said the defaults are *supposed* to be correct now as that was a change made over a year ago. draft n 300mbps can use either 1+3 for both, 1+2 for both or a mix depends on the unit, the 3x3 (n final 450mbps) units i think would be 1+2+3 on both. _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)
