#Qualcomm atheros qca9377 5ghz upgrade
We want to inject packets from the transmitter end and receive them on the receiver using monitor mode (we currently do it at 2.4GHz with a different chip and want to upgrade our setup to 5GHz). I needed to find out my BSSID of 2.4Ghz channel and connect with it to the network. We have QCA9377 modules which we want to use as 802.11ac transceivers. In order to connect with 2.4Ghz I did the following (I am using NetworkManager): What happend was that 2.4Ghz connection was working with no problems but 5.0Ghz connection showed same symptoms as I had before so I figured connecting with 2.4Ghz to my network would work.Īfterwards I read on some website that allegedly linux had issues with 2.4Ghz connections before but since 5.0Ghz connections, 2.4Ghz was working and 5.0 had problems. I wanted to check out what would happen if I switched one of them off and kept the other one on. So I connected to my router and saw that both 5.0Ghz and 2.4Ghz connections were active.
