Fwd: Cannot achieve throughput higher than 460Mbps using CT firmware and 3x3 ath10k

[richard mayers]

If you mean orthogonal between receiver and transmitter I already
tried and same results.

I also tried to lower the transmission power from 30dbm to 18, 6, 12..
but nothing changed.

Thanks,
Richard
