> But as a very significant bonus, the 'extra' antennas if there is a mismatch in MIMO levels between the client and router do not go unused, but are used for 'diversity' and 'beamforming', which extends range, and improves speed at range.
You don't get higher max speed, but you do get better performance in general. I hadn't expected it to be drastic - I had thought it would be more theoretical than practical - so I had been planning on adding some 2x2 APs in a few months; but I don't think I need to now.
The original drive was because I have 4x4 on my desktop which won't get wired in for at least a year now; and my homelab is wired in.
