Changing the interface #8

Open R1shabh-Arora opened 1 year ago

R1shabh-Arora commented 1 year ago

Hello,

I am having trouble connecting to my 2.5GHz IoT devices because my Raspberry Pi 3B+ only supports 5GHz Wi-Fi. I have an external Wi-Fi adapter with an Atheros 9271 chipset. Is there a way to change the interface that broadcasts to the external adapter?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello,

Due to other responsibilities, it's been a while I worked on this project. Hence, not sure if you already figured this out or not. If not, then the support for 5GHz only was intentional. If you want to switch the support to 2.4GHz; modify the parameter hw_mode=b in hostapd.conf file. Note this will switch the band to 2.4GHz only. I will look into it and if feasible (hopefully) implement it in future.

Thanks,
