Did testing with station and a linksys router on 11n mode today and was able to get iperf throughput of 80 Mb between the station and a computer through the router. So there seems to be something wrong with the ap code, but I can't figure out where the problem might be.<br>

</div>Hmm.. That does not look good. Could you please send 'iw list' output?<br>
See <a href="http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw" target="_blank">http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw</a> if you do not<br>
have a relatively recent version of iw. Please also send 'dmesg' output<br>
after having started hostapd.<br>

</div>Not seeing SSID in iwconfig output is actually by design when using<br>
driver=nl80211, so that can be ignored. Not seeing the AP is of course<br>
not expected.<br>
