Identifying wave 2 (mu-mimo) clients

    Is there any data recorded on the controllers (or airwave) of mu-mimo clients?  When 11ac first came out, I was able to key on the client phy and make the case to purchase more 11ac APs as the number of clients grew.  I was hoping to start doing the same with mu-mimo clients, although the pundits claim wave 2 is a white elephant.  But now that I have some wave 2 APs in several locations, I wanted to start counting.

     

    On the contollers dashboard, the options I get for client phy searching are:

     

    Any
    a
    b
    g
    n 20 MHz
    n 40 MHz
    ac 20 MHz
    ac 40 MHz
    ac 80 MHz
    ac 80+80 MHz
    ac 160 MHz
