beamforming software feature?

[darksamus]

Is beamforming (AI Radar) a software feature or does it has something to do with the wifi drivers?

If both Asus and Tomato is using the same wifi driver version, then beamforming should work on Tomato (assuming that it a driver issue)

See http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/other/ces-2013/32001-smallnetbuilder-ces-2013-wrap-up?start=1 for the basics of beamforming.

It helps only if router and client support the same method and does not increase range.
