Yes, the WDS link was most probably using only 1 Mbps, not 11 Mbps.
Please re-test with v0.0.1 of Host AP driver. It should fix rate control
for WDS links by adding STA entry when a new WDS links is created. In
older versions, STA entry was only added if the WDS link was created
automatically based on received beacon frame. I was able to get over
6 Mbps (UDP) throughput over a manually added WDS link after this
update.
