Unable to detect channel 149 5ghz band of the hotspot provided by my samsung smartphone #850

I would like to connect to the 5ghz channel 149 band of the hotspot provided by my samsung smartphone but it seems that the rtl8812au driver is not enabled to connect on this channel: `root@debian:/usr/src/rtl8812au# iwlist wlxd0374591e180 chan wlxd0374591e180 32 channels in total; available frequencies : Channel 01 : 2.412 GHz Channel 02 : 2.417 GHz Channel 03 : 2.422 GHz Channel 04 : 2.427 GHz Channel 05 : 2.432 GHz Channel 06 : 2.437 GHz Channel 07 : 2.442 GHz Channel 08 : 2.447 GHz Channel 09 : 2.452 GHz Channel 10 : 2.457 GHz Channel 11 : 2.462 GHz Channel 12 : 2.467 GHz Channel 13 : 2.472 GHz Channel 36 : 5.18 GHz Channel 40 : 5.2 GHz Channel 44 : 5.22 GHz Channel 48 : 5.24 GHz Channel 52 : 5.26 GHz Channel 56 : 5.28 GHz Channel 60 : 5.3 GHz Channel 64 : 5.32 GHz Channel 100 : 5.5 GHz Channel 104 : 5.52 GHz Channel 108 : 5.54 GHz Channel 112 : 5.56 GHz Channel 116 : 5.58 GHz Channel 120 : 5.6 GHz Channel 124 : 5.62 GHz Channel 128 : 5.64 GHz Channel 132 : 5.66 GHz Channel 136 : 5.68 GHz Channel 140 : 5.7 GHz Current Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1)

I have tried setting various regions of use but without success.

Where is it necessary to modify the driver sources to extend the range of channels up to 5ghz 149?

Hi which driver version are you using?

mad-max-66 commented 3 years ago

The computer is an Intel Celeron dual core 64 bit. Linux Debian Testing kernel 5.10.0-6-amd64. Device is ID 2357:011f TP-Link 802.11ac WLAN Adapter (Archer T2U V3 USB Dual Band AC600). I proceeded like this: git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git && make && sudo make install. The installation added an 88XXau.ko kernel module. When connecting the usb-wifi the kernel returns: [ 766.883555] usb 2-1.1: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci-pci [ 766.992641] usb 2-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=2357, idProduct=011f, bcdDevice= 2.00 [ 766.992650] usb 2-1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 766.992654] usb 2-1.1: Product: 802.11ac WLAN Adapter [ 766.992658] usb 2-1.1: Manufacturer: Realtek [ 766.992661] usb 2-1.1: SerialNumber: 00e04c000001 [ 767.144154] usb 2-1.1: 88XXau d0:37:45:91:e1:80 hw_info[107] [ 767.214837] rtl88XXau 2-1.1:1.0 wlxd0374591e180: renamed from wlan0 [ 767.795615] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlxd0374591e180: link becomes ready I tried various scripts to set both the kernel module and NetworkManager the US country code which, however, even setting it manually, there is no way to connect the smartphone hotspot. Regarding Windows 10 it is enough to replace the driver provided by tp-link with the original Realtek rtl8812AU and you can connect without problems. But I would very much like to be able to connect from my linux box. I tried to see if there was a possible option in the Makefile and try to edit the os_dep/linux /wifi_regd.c file but I have no knowledge of programming. Strangely, by NetworkManager used as a hotspot and manually entering the frequency or the channel of the 5ghz band it works, slowly (72Mbps link only). wlxd0374591e180 IEEE 802.11an ESSID:"debian" Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>" Mode:Master Frequency:5.745 GHz Access Point: D0:37:45:91:E1:80 Bit Rate:72.2 Mb/s Sensitivity:0/0 Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality=87/100 Signal level=-45 dBm Noise level=0 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 Your help is always welcome.

Use version 5.6.4.2 and install using DKMS on reboot run from terminal iw reg set 00

I am also having this issue. Debian Bullseye (testing), kernel 5.10.0-2-amd64

          Channel 140 : 5.7 GHz
          Current Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1)

Using driver 5.6.4.2. I've tried sudo iw reg set 00 and also editing /etc/default/crda manually (I changed to US and reverted it back to blank when I observed no change). Many reboots.

Technically, I need channel 157, but I think it's the same issue of unavailable channels.

Edit: https://github.com/morrownr/8821au worked for me. Perhaps this will help with debugging. They also have an 8812.au driver that some may find helpful.

I think I may have a similar issue. After I upgraded to 21.04 (and then updated to latest version of the main branch of this repo) I still have some intermittent issues connecting to 5GHz networks. The behavior I see is that network manager does not usually find these networks on its own (and connects to 2.4GHz band with no issue). I can only see the 5GHz networks if I manually do "iwlist scan". After that, network manager finds the networks and auto-connects.

Now I see that iwlist chan returns:

wlxd03745e4f5a3  32 channels in total; available frequencies :

          Channel 153 : 5.765 GHz
          Current Frequency=5.805 GHz

which seems wierd since my current channel is not in the list. From iw reg get I get:

(AR is correct for me). I tried "iw reg set 00" but it has no effect.

I have the same issue, I'm with Ubuntu 20.04.3 and when my wifi is on channel is 157, I can't connect to 5ghz. With Windows I don't have any issue.

When I check the code, I have 32 channel, but I don't find a list corresponding in the code.

mad-max-66 commented 3 years ago

I compiled and installed the sources of the link you indicated. I confirm in the current Debian testing, despite some warnings at compile time, I can connect the smartphone perfectly. Thank you, you are very kind to have reported me the version of the sources working to solve the problem. Greetings. Massimo.
