I'd think that totally depends on the traffic. If you have a non-QoS AP with WPS upstream connection, then the traffic to stations will be four-byte aligned while the WPS upstream will be at a 2-byte-mod-4 boundary. And you'll have all packets from stations come in aligned and all response packets from wherever come in as WPS. johannes
