Intel chipsets categorically do not support AP mode
- eptcyka 7mo agoIt is hit or miss - one NUC has been stable for years, another kernel panics after the 5th client connects.
- baby_souffle 7mo agoOops, I meant Atheros, not iteris. I have had good luck with intel in the past but it was only a very specific version. Don’t recall the exact specifics as it was a little while ago now. Mediatek is still the best bet, though.
- dlenski 7mo ago> > Intel and some iteris chipsets are well supported. > Intel chipsets categorically do not support AP mode This is not true. Intel chipsets do support AP mode; what they don't support is 5 GHz AP. You wouldn't want to run a 2.4-GHz-only router for any kind of real-world long-term use, but if you just want to start a quick-and-dirty 2.4 GHz AP for testing/hacking/reverse-engineering, Intel chipsets are very good for this because they have out-of-the-box support for channel-hopping to support simultaneous client+AP operation.
