So I've read through a few forum posts and also the main Wifi7 status thread. It seem like in general Wifi-7 should be working to some extent at this point. I'm running the latest snapshot however and my "radio 2" is disabled. I'm unsure if this is an issue on my end or something with the firmware. Any insight would be appreciated.
It doesn't show as disabled.
It is just not active.
Do you have set a wifi password for it? Wifi 7 requires wpa3 which requires a password to be set.
What do you mean it doesn't show as disabled? The toggle shows "disable" implying it's enabled right? Is that different? Also yes I've set a password and it's set to WPA3 because I'm aware that is a requirement as well.
Yes, if the action is to disable, then the current state is enabled.
What is the actual issue you are experiencing? Wifi SSID not showing?
It's the 6 GHz radio. Is the device you are trying to connect able to use that?
Another option would be to look in the system log if there are any issues printed out, particularly by hostapd.
Edit: now I see what you meant. The disabled info on the left side. I was only looking on the right side. There should definitely be something in the logs then.

try switching the country to JP .. i suspect wireless-regdb hasn't been updated yet for the US ...
on another note probably worth changing radio0 & radio1 to AX
Tried switching to JP and no dice, could it be a hardware issue somehow? Also is AX supposed to give better performance? I seem to get better signal strength from BE for some reason.
on radio0 for sure as I haven't heard BE having better performance on 2Ghz ... it is interesting your experience as unless you are very close to the router AX performs better at longer distances... check if radio2 works with HE160
does your client support 6Ghz EHT?
My appartment is pretty small so I guess that's why I haven't noticed too much of a difference. I switched to AX anyway though. I think the antenna I'm using are kinda bad anyway. I'm going to go to the stock ones and do some more in depth trouble shooting once I get replacement cables. Also I only have 6e clients.
So I switched to the latest RC and then I had to set JP as the location code and then everything works now. I guess it was some oddity with the snapshots. Also the antenna switch I'm getting a lot better signal so I guess my wifi issues are solved for now
