Request for 802.11ax Command References

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi all,

As part of my research, I am currently exploring 802.11ax-specific commands and features. In particular, I am looking for commands related to aspects such as Resource Unit (RU) allocation and other 802.11ax operations.

If anyone can point me to relevant commands, tools, or documentation, it would be very helpful for my work. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or references.

Thank you in advance.

Search for AX https://git.w1.fi/cgit/hostap/tree/hostapd/hostapd.conf

Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button (red circle; this works best in the 'Markdown' composer view in the blue oval):

this release is no longer supported, you should upgrade.

And after that examine generated /var/run/hostap*conf and also check hostapd_cli.

is that possible to control and modify RU allocation

It is done by firmware. Note mu-aggregated packets work only against static clients. roughly in the mesh only.
Firmware handles it, at txop pushes out best it can.
