Unable to use 2.4ghz AP on dual band device

Open vaderag opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Firstly, thank you - I finally was able to get a device I had hanging around working on Ubuntu with this

I'm having some issues however... I'm trying to use tuya-convert which sets up a wifi ap using this device, however it only ever creates it on the 5ghz band, and I need it to be on the 2.4ghz

Is there any way to disable the 5ghz AP band somehow?

Try add

hw_mode=g
ieee80211n=1

in the hostapd.conf in the tuya-convert. However I don't remember I needed to set this when I was using it.
