Its people's expectations that a 54 Mbps status indicator for WiFi means its the same Tx and Rx, which in WiFi it has good reason that might not not be.

thanks.

No problem. I think the misapprehension here is fundamentally different though. It's that the MCS rates - these are 802.11 standards-based entities independent of status indicators or operating systems - refer to a total rate between client and AP which must be split into Tx and Rx rates. But the MCS rate is not the sum of two directions, it is in fact the rate for one direction only. 54/150/300 - those numbers refer to one direction, not the sum of both. An expectation that 54Mbps Rx must mean 54Mbps Tx would be impossible according to the misapprehension here.
