I'm using a Raspberry PI 4B with 4 GB and running Ubuntu 23.04. My problem is that when using my Wifi adapter on there and scanning for networks with airodump-ng I see only my network and sometimes one of my closest neighbor. When using the Wifi adapter on my Windows machine I see way more and also most of them are 2,4 GHz. If any other information is needed please tell me and I will provide it as soon as possible.

Hi @philhk

Hmmm... can you give me a step by step guide as to how you get into monitor mode and what commands you are using to scan?
