connect upstream can connect to 5GHz and kill hotspot #579

Open tim-moody opened 3 months ago

tim-moody commented 3 months ago

can we use 5GHz on hotspot?

nmcli -f in-use,ssid,bssid,freq,signal,bars dev wifi shows freq, but then we need to use bssid to connect

channel=36 country_code=GB hw_mode=a

works

channel=100 does not seem to even with ieee80211ac=1

nmcli d wifi connect <2.4GHz BSSID> password connects, but

/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/.nmconnection has no info on channel

so on reboot can randomly select 5GHz or 2.4GHz; former breaks hostapd

tim-moody commented 3 months ago

tried reboot and came up on 2.4GHz with hostapd now working power cycled and same
