Upon rebooting the Owrt system, wireless is functional and can be used successfully on EITHER 2.4GHz OR 5.0GHz, but only a single physical radio is being presented for configuration.
I was under the impression this was a 2x2 card that had 2 physical radios on it.
Am I mistaken or is something up with my setup?
I was hoping there might be a way to troubleshoot, test, or otherwise verify the physical hardware present on the card via linux / CLI means?
Yes, it has single physical radio. Wifi7 is not yet well supported but often come with multi-band.
Max link speed 300Mbps 2T2R 40MHz, very likely possible in 5GHz only.
Thank you very much for the fast answer. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't chasing my tail for no reason... I am good with my assumptions being incorrect, just wanted to make sure my hardware was functioning normally and fully operational despite my quirky setup.
I can live with the 1 radio as it is mostly for testing and other purposes anyways. (My primary home router functions and reaches pretty far already.)
Also, I have a proper WAP I intend to deploy off my ProxMox host as well.
At 2.4GHz with my Pixel 8 Pro phone right next to the wifi antennas I was seeing about 130-140Mbit max throughput iirc.
Hopefully that is about right?
I am not sure how the TxRx units stack up and I know there are losses involved at multiple levels.
I am just happy to finally be getting this side project off the ground after waiting way too long.
