#1 Post by brcisna »

Hello All,

has anyone had success getting the Meditek MT7921k tri-band wifi card to run in both ap-sta mode
this card only has one phy so am guessing this is not possible.
am very familiar with hostapd,but could not get it to work with this .

Thanks

Hi,

It is not possible to run the Meditek MT7921k tri-band wifi card in both ap-sta mode, as it only has one PHY (physical layer). AP-STA mode, also known as simultaneous AP-STA mode, allows a wireless device to act as both an access point and a client at the same time. This requires two PHYs, one for the access point and one for the client. Since the MT7921k only has one PHY, it is not capable of operating in this mode.

Without two physical radios, the device would not be able to handle the separate transmission and reception of data in both modes at the same time.
