That devices contains an AR9271, which uses the ath9k_htc driver. The
number of stations you can maintain is limited by the device RAM.
Luckily the AR9271 firmware is now GPL [1] so you can hack on this
yourself I'm not quite sure what the upper limit is, but we've raised
it to 16 without seeing any obvious breakage.

Try modifying ATH9K_HTC_MAX_STA in the ath9k_htc driver and
ATH_NODE_MAX [2] in the firmware.
