Have some question regarding the A9000

Hi 

 

Have some question regarding the A9000

 

  1. Is 100Mbps max speed when using it in "injection mode"
  2. Can the device work in AP mode (or injection mode) in the 6GHz band?

Thanks :D

    There is no AP mode.

     

    Netgear says nothing about injection mode, but the MediaTek chipset doesn't preclude it.  So it might work (or might not).  AFAIK there is no speed cap built into the adapter.

      There are many other usage scenarios for these A9000/BE6500 devices beyond pure WiFi clients what Netgear does test and support.

       

      JoelBr​  MediaTek MT7925U (Filogic 360 / Wi-Fi 7 chipset supports monitor mode and packet injection on Linux using the upstream mt76 / mt7925u driver.

       

      Nothing beyond of what is part of the product data sheet is supported by Netgear.

        FWIW, I knew that, but haven't used it for that myself. 

         

        If someone here has, then it'd be great if they can chime in.
