Changed behavior:
-
+- The default Wi-Fi ErrorRateModel for the 802.11n/ac/ax standards has been changed from the NistErrorRateModel to a new TableBasedErrorRateModel. Users may experience a shift in Wi-Fi link range due to the new default error model, as the new model is more optimistic (the PER for a given MCS will degrade at a lower SNR value). The Wi-Fi module documentation provides plots that compare the performance of the NIST and new table-based model.
