This PR adds 802.11ax(wifi6) ability to create_ap and GUI. This PR solves #357 In create_ap, an option named --ieee80211ax is added. In GUI, a checkbox "IEEE80211ax" is added.

Thanks for the contribution. Were you able to compile this with the current Makefile? What is the gtk version you used?

Catty2014 commented 7 months ago

I use gtk 3.24.38 and it compiles successfully.

This would be epic. So far I am able to get AC 40mhz working on my Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX200 (rev 1a), can only get a 40Mhz band by leaving Channel as Auto because none of the higher than 20mhz channels i tried would actually work. But somehow the default channel 36 can sometimes connect as AC on 40Mhz leading to 300 or so Mbit which is okay, but not stellar. Being able to obtain AX would be wonderful...

I will report back my findings.

Update: Not working for me on this particular hardware of mine. It just produces the usual "Failed to run hostapd" error

WORKING for me.

radio: MEDIATEK Corp. MT7921K (RZ608) Wi-Fi 6E 80MHz
driver: mt7921e
FREQ_BAND=5
IEEE80211AX=1
init system executes iw reg set US before create_ap. This both vastly improves my bandwidth and fixes "ERROR: Your adapter can not transmit to channel 36, frequency band 5GHz."
speedtest.net result now BETTER with my Wi-Fi 6 connected device (320 Mbps) than with a Wi-Fi 5 connected device (70 Mbps). Ethernet WAN on the AP device gets 350 Mbps.

Thank you!!!

Works fine for me - thank you very much! (IMHO this could and should be merged)

lakinduakash commented 6 months ago

ATM I don't have an Ubuntu machine, But I hope it compiles and works fine as others feedback. Thanks for the contribution

That is caused by the intel driver limiting functionality, it's same on AX210... Intel's LAR (Locality Aware Regulator) is what is screwing us over with respect to higher than 2.4GHz bands..

Can you make it also compatible with 6e?
