Small update from today’s testing:

  • AX210 still refuses to even scan for or connect to 6Ghz APs due to flawed and out of date implementation of Location Aware Regulation in firmware.
  • AX210 does NOT seem to be able to make a WPA3-capable AP
  • MT7921K and MT7921U DO make WPA3 capable APs !
  • MT7921K and MT7921U DO make 6 Ghz APs confirmed.
  • I am still struggling to get more than 20Mhz channel size from either of the MT units, but I will post an example hostapd.conf file as soon as I figure this out.
  • AX210s are being taken out of all of my Frameworks, and will be put up for sale because I refuse to put up with Intel’s poor firmware any longer. MT7921K’s are on sale for $14 currently.
