As far as I know, this is a binary addition. 0x1 = left, 0x2 = right, 0x3 = left & right. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is how it works. > it looks like the devices has 4 antennas on the board: > http://wiki.openwrt.org/_media/media/media/toh/wd/n600-pcb.jpg Hey - its my photo :D > Device info: > http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/wd/n600 And the wiki page I wrote ;) > > could it be that openwrt is not using all of these antennas? I don't think that's the case. I almost see the same thing - but I think its just a calibration thing - not an actual performance / real thing. The noise floor will never move from -99dB either. iirc, the percentage is based on the signal / noise floor relationship. -- Steven Haigh Email: net...@crc.id.au Web: https://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897 Fax: (03) 8338 0299 _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
