AiRadar / Beamforming Toggle Missing #1358

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
When configuring the wireless settings, the toggle for AiRadar / Beamforming is 
missing.

It was expected that the toggle for AiRadar / Beamforming be present.

Found on Nightly build RT-N56U_3.4.3.8-086 Base

Is there any way to tell if beamforming / AiRadar is working without the 
toggle?

What is the "AiRadar / Beamforming"?

In my opinion Asus's "AiRadar" is pretty gimmicky as is any 802.11n form of 
beamforming...Beamforming was allowed to be implemented by router manufacturers 
under 802.11n but it was a standard that was never clearly defined...Your 
wireless NIC and the access point BOTH need to support the same implementation 
of 11n beamforming so in real world practice the benefits are rarely seen. When 
802.11ac came out an actual standardized specification of beamforming was 
decided upon and is now more practical in the real world...

tl;dr Don't miss "AiRadar" much, you probably weren't benefiting from it in the 
first place.

If you're talking about AiRadar from stock firmware, then it was removed from 
this firmware, as it simply didn't work at all =)
