I need help in debugging my Alfa Networks AWUS036NHA. All seems configured right but SSID does not appear and the blue LED does not shine on the device.
The problem I want so solve is the WLAN performance of my LInksys WRT1900ACS is terrible. It does not reach far enough. This is a known problem.
I have to solutions: Discard openwrt and use OEM Original with "beam forming". OpenWRT does not support this, right?
Or plug in a USB WLAN Adapter with more reach like the one I had in my drawer.
First LUCI would not want to configure it. I updated to 22.02 and now configuration via LUCI does work.
LUCI UI says all is well, but I cannot connect and LED is out.
in /etc/config/wireless:
config wifi-device 'radio2'
option type 'mac80211'
option path 'platform/soc/soc:internal-regs/f10f8000.usb3/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0'
option country 'DE'
option cell_density '1'
option htmode 'HT40'
option hwmode '11g'
option channel 'auto'
config wifi-iface 'wifinet2'
option device 'radio2'
option network 'lan'
option mode 'ap'
option ssid 'Magrathea2'
option encryption 'psk2'
option key 'XXXXXXX'
option wmm '0'

In wifi status:

"wmm": false,
"network": [
"lan"
],
"mode": "ap"
},

}
How do I check with "wifi" and "iw" if the adapter is working correct? And How do I get it working?
Thanks in advance.
