Adrian,
Thanks for your reply.
> You should first report what hardware, which channel, what configuration, etc.
Ubiquity Routerstation (Atheros AR7161 @ 680MHz)
Ubiquity SR71-15 (Atheros AR9220/AR9280) 802.11n 2T2R
OpenWRT r32347
mode adhoc
channel 157
frequency 5785MHz
channel type HT40+
rate control minstrel_ht
dual stream MCS15 300Mbps

I have been doing some extensive testing and discovered that a lot of
packets are being dropped on the tx side with few if any drops on the rx
side. With a PHY of 300Mbps I get about 100Mbps UDP.

Total packet count:: ideal 10890621 lookaround 46906
Average A-MPDU length: 4.8
I am not sure where I am to find the short and long retry counts.
In conclusion I discovered that during Tx the CPU load is almost 100%.
Thanks again,
