Description

Installed snapshot this week on a nanoHD and support for beamforming and mu-mimo seems to be missing just by checking iw list or grep hostapd confs. The ubiquiti device specsheet for the nanoHD does specifically say it has support for these features. Any insight on this?

Research direction

Start by comparing the nanoHD hardware specification with the features reported by iw list and the available hostapd configurations. Determine whether MT7621 beamforming and MU-MIMO support is absent from the driver or configuration, with completion marked by both features being correctly exposed and usable.
