Hi,
Can anyone sugest an M.2 WiFi card with support for ‘mesh point’, 6GHz bands, which might work with the BPI-R3/R4?
I have a couple of BPI-R3s and would like to repurpose them as wireless APs throughout my house. Ideally I will connect these to my R4s on the 6 GHz band. Unfortunately there is no frequency overlap between the BPI-R4 6 GHz freq bands and the ones supported by the R3. I also want to keep the 2 GHz and 5 GHz bands available for STA clients.
I have a Quectel/Qualcomm NCM685 (WCN7850) and an Intel AX210 which work fine as either AP or STA but neither seems to support mesh point configuration. The WCN7850 should have “partial” mesh support (whatever that means) but I do seem to figure out how to enable that (there are patches which seem to add mesh support to the kernel, but ‘iw phy’ does not detect this capability)
Any WiFI card suggestions or help with configuring the WCN7850 (or the AX210) appreciated.
