An AP is advertised as a tri-band, 4x4:4, Wi-Fi 6, 802.11ax AP. Based on this information and assuming it is correctly advertised, what can be determined as certainly true about this AP?

Question

Options

• AIt supports four channels in 2.4 GHz and 4 channels in 5 GHz
• BIt supports UL-MU-MIMO
• CIt uses a modified OpenWRT firmware
• DIt has 4 radio chains

Explanation

Based on the information given, what can be determined as certainly true about this AP is that it has 4 radio chains. A radio chain is a hardware component that consists of an antenna, a radio frequency (RF) amplifier, and a transceiver. The number of radio chains indicates how many spatial streams an AP can transmit or receive simultaneously using Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology. The notation x:y:z in an AP specification denotes the number of radio chains (x), the number of spatial streams (y), and the number of spatial streams per band (z). Therefore, a tri-band, 4x4:4, Wi- Fi 6, 802.11ax AP has four radio chains in each of its three bands (2.4 GHz, low 5 GHz, and high 5 GHz). It also supports four spatial streams in total and four spatial streams per band. It cannot be determined as certainly true that it supports four channels in each band, UL-MU-MIMO, or uses a modified OpenWRT firmware based on the information given.
