The point is in throughput. With 3x3 card is easier to assemble faster link. Previously this link can’t send more than 110Mb UDP. Only after changing hardware on both sides, the throughput was improved almost 2 times better. Antenna system is the same. I’ve tried Rockets M5 and RB800 prevoiusly. After more than 2 months, link perfect. In one session TCP it cant send more than 110Mb.
So maybe it’s still 2x2 link, but it’s a fastest 2x2 link that I ever see .
Well you only using 2 chains and the third is burnt unless you turned off the radio in that chain. It has nothing with 3x3 to do that it’s quicker, more that’s is a better chipset.
