Hi there,
I am using a TP-Link TL-WDN3200 on a ubuntu 13.04 (kernel
3.8.0-27-generic), and I have install relevant modules with
backports-3.11-rc3-1.
I would like to switch my WiFi stick to 5GHz, I tried iwconfig wlan0
freq 5G, but I get ENOTSUPP.
Is the freq settings suppose to handle this 2.4 vs 5GHz band or is it
only for selecting channel frequency within a given band?
Does linux-wireless provides a way for selecting 2.4 or 5GHz band?
"iw phy phy11 info" tells me that in band 2, all the frequencies are
disabled except:
* 5745 MHz [149] (30.0 dBm)
* 5755 MHz [151] (30.0 dBm)
* 5765 MHz [153] (30.0 dBm)
* 5775 MHz [155] (30.0 dBm)
* 5785 MHz [157] (30.0 dBm)
* 5795 MHz [159] (30.0 dBm)
* 5805 MHz [161] (30.0 dBm)
* 5825 MHz [165] (30.0 dBm)
As well, my understanding of WiFi might be a bit limited but, does a
dual-band WiFi device provides 2.4 and 5GHz services at the same time or
do I need to select one or the other myself? Or maybe I can just
enable/disable them manually (and separately)?
Hope someone can shed some light at this.
Regards,
Chris
