FYI, if you run a custom-built kernel on Debian and want to use 6Ghz, You need to set your country for the Wi-Fi spec.

  1. sudo update-alternatives --set regulatory.db /lib/firmware/regulatory.db-upstream

  2. Create /etc/modprobe.d/cfg80211.conf with options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=GB as its contents. Of course, switch the country based on where you are.

6Ghz should now be enabled!

Today, I decided to bring one of my MikroTik access points out of the closet, a CAP AC. I used two of them in my home for almost 4 years with no major issues before switching to Omada WIFI6 devices. Later on, I switched to Ruckus, and one of them is now my primary home access point. I managed to reduce from two access points to just one. While one of the Omada units lost signal in far corners of the house, the Ruckus remained stable.

Meanwhile, MikroTik has started supporting wave2, so I decided to give it a test. I removed OpenWRT (which I had installed for testing purposes) and reinstalled RouterOS 7.18. After setting it all up and turning off the Ruckus, I noticed slightly lower coverage compared to the Ruckus, but the stability was comparable, with all the benefits of RouterOS. Definitely a nice surprise, and for me, MikroTik remains a genuinely honest company that continues to update old devices for a long time without imposing artificial limits or paywalls. I use their devices a lot, even for clients, and everyone is very satisfied.

Wer noch was günstiges für #Freifunk braucht, evtl. zum Austausch von Altlasten wie den 841er: Der D-Link DAP-X1860 ist gerade wieder auf 30€ runter. Und so für den Preis auf Amazon oder Mediamarkt/Saturn erhältlich. Eines der günstigsten 802.11ax / #WiFi6 Geräte zur Zeit.

Just today got #fiber #broadband internet running (in DE on #telekom XXL aka "speed xxl" tariff see telekom.de/zuhause/tarife-und- ). The long-term cost is 60€ pcm (ignoring 6 months special offer). The speeds achieved are 500Mbps down and 100Mbps up. Not bad. (Same speed for #LAN cable connection or #WiFi6 using their #speedport 4 #speedportsmart4 router telekom.de/zuhause/geraete-und). My other #vodaphone #cable internet connection is > 500Mbps down (fluctuates a lot) but max about 40 Mbps up. #breitband
