You have a hap-ac3 which can use with ROS7 the wifiwave2 package.

So you don't have to tape the pins with ROS7?
I don't know why, but Quectel devices what we receive at USA project have default usb3.0 enabled but ROS7.1beta2 detect lte1 interface and they work normal with SXTR/LHGR.

Re: Adding routing mark weird behaviour.

Distance is irrelevant in this case. For packets using the named table, route selection falls back to main table (if it is allowed) only after it failed to find a route in the named one. And if named table contains an active default route, it can't fail. Indeed distance of routing marked route and ...

Re: RB4011iGS+5HacQ2Hnd and 160 MHz

the bandwidth you see in the net analyser tools (or similar SW) does not come from real RF scanning (like real spectrum analyzer), but from decoding the beacon frame! So what you see is not necessarily what you have. In the beacon frames your phone gets told that the AP can do 20/40/80 Mhz etc. whic...

Post config file:

Then download the file from the "file" menu to your PC.

We can then give clear instruction how to remove ETH1 from WAN and add into the bridge as LAN (I guess this is what you want to do)
