The AP's NIC is ath10k, stations are a mix of /n and /ac. User has control of streaming server and AP, but not clients. I think from wifi transport side, it would be best if data could be excessively queued in the wifi AP so that larger A-MPDUs could possibly be sent. The streaming server could use large tcp tx socket buffers to deal with extra latency that the AP's queueing would cause. First, does this seem sane. And second, any idea how to go about it?
