Is there a Linux command to read the RSSI for both RX antennas in 2x2 MIMO? Here's the specific customer question

How can I know the RSS of each RX chain in 2x2 MIMO configuration in linux ?

Hi,

The average RSSI can be obtained using iw dev wlan0 link. I will check if there is a way to get the RSSI for both antennas using any commands

Also is the intent to measure when the connection is already established or while in scanning? Please let me know.

As of current test case, its after its connected. Would be interested to see in scanning mode also, but is it different ?

Hi,

In https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/207992/how-to-find-out-the-wifi-sensitivity-rssi

mentions the iw commands that can be used for getting the RSSI. I am checking if there is a way to get the information for each antenna. But may not be available.
