- * Some APs experience problems when working with U-APSD. Decrease the

- * The AP that caused us trouble was a Cisco 4410N. It ignores our
- * setting, and always treats non-VO ACs as legacy.
+ * Some APs experience problems when working with U-APSD. Decreasing the
+ * probability of that happening by using legacy mode for all ACs but VO isn't
+ * enough.
+ *
+ * Cisco 4410N originally forced us to enable VO by default only because it
+ * treated non-VO ACs as legacy.
+ *
+ * However some APs (notably Netgear R7000) silently reclassify packets to
+ * different ACs. Since u-APSD ACs require trigger frames for frame retrieval
+ * clients would never see some frames (e.g. ARP responses) or would fetch them
+ * accidentally after a long time.
+ *
+ * It makes little sense to enable u-APSD queues by default because it needs
+ * userspace applications to be aware of it to actually take advantage of the
+ * possible additional powersavings. Implicitly depending on driver autotrigger
+ * frame support doesn't make much sense.
