MU-MIMO support

We are using this driver with Linksys WUSB6400M paired with a Huawei AP and we noticed something strange:

  • on Linux it displays MU-MIMO: Not supported
  • while on Windows, same adapter, same AP and SSID, it shows MU-MIMO: Supported.
    Any idea why? Is this supposed to work with this driver? Is it a config setting to enable it? Didn't see anything in the conf file...

Thanks!

Hi @razvanphp

Any idea why?

Realtek out-of-kernel drivers are not very good. They seem to be designed for use by those working on embedded systems. Certainly not for us poor everyday users. I've done the best I can with them but do not recommend Linux users buy adapters that are only supported by these out-of-kernel drivers. You can find more information below:

The Main Menu for this site is:

Recommend reading menu items 1 and 2.

FYI: There is an in-kernel driver for your adapter these days if you are using kernel 6.4 or later. You would have to try it to see if it meets your needs.
