Max.-Spatial-Steams

Specify the maximum number of allowed spatial streams.

Spatial streams add a third dimension to the frequency-time matrix available to radio communications: Space. An array of multiple antennas provides the receiver with spatial information that the device can use for spatial multiplexing, a technique that increases transmission rates. This allows parallel transmission of multiple data streams over a single radio channel. Multiple transmitter and receiver antennas can be operated at the same time. This leads to a significant increase in the performance of the radio system.

With the factory setting, the device sets up the spatial streams automatically to make optimal use of the radio system. Alternatively you have the option of limiting the spatial streams to one or two to reduce the load on the radio system.
