I assume the TX rate should be similar in AP mode and STA mode for the same driver, but still little difference from real AP, which has more antenna and better capability to TX/RX. Base on my assumption, I think we can try 1. compare TX rate with/without RF calibration, such as IQK, to ensure the calibrations work well in AP mode. 2. try fixed TX rate by TX description to check if rate selection problem.
