AC mode AP?

[dmarkey]

Trying to get hostapd to work with this USB dongle.

Configuring for AC but negotiation seems to only go N.

Anyone got an AC access point to work with this chipset?

Here is my config

interface=wlx****
driver=nl80211

ssid=*****
hw_mode=a
channel=44
country_code=DE
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0

wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=***
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
auth_algs=1
macaddr_acl=0

Were you able to get it to .ac ?

The best I can get to is n wlp1s0u1u1 IEEE 802.11an ESSID:"borg" Nickname:"WIFI@REALTEK" Mode:Master Frequency:5.22 GHz Access Point: 3A:5D:33:AA:0E:3D
Bit Rate:144.4 Mb/s Sensitivity:0/0
Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

Using:

interface=wlp1s0u1u1 driver=nl80211 country_code=US

ieee80211d=1

ieee80211h=1

ieee80211n=1 # 802.11n support ieee80211ac=1 # 802.11ac support wmm_enabled=1 # QoS support ssid=borg hw_mode=a channel=44 macaddr_acl=0 auth_algs=1 ignore_broadcast_ssid=0 wpa=2 wpa_passphrase=**** wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=TKIP rsn_pairwise=CCMP

Using @mehditlili config above I can only get 54g speeds and not even n

btw you may have to use a custom hostap and rtl driver instead of nl80211 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hostapd-rtl871xdrv/
