Hi @zorq,

Can you show me the entire log before this? What error did hostapd give?

Can you please try running lnxrouter with the --no-virt option? Maybe your card does not have good support for virtual interfaces. Also make sure you're not connected to WiFi or it's disabled before you try.

I turned off wifi before attempting and I've tried forgetting the network and leaving wifi enabled, both did not work. Thanks so much for your help!

zorq avatar Sep 30 '21 00:09 zorq

Can you show me the output of iw list? If it's very long you can put it in a text file but make sure to get all of it. Thanks

zorq avatar Sep 30 '21 00:09 zorq

Thank you! It says most of your 5 GHz channels are disabled except a few? Can you try with no virtual and channel 165?

Also, what about --freq-band 2.4, does that work?

peacey avatar Sep 30 '21 00:09 peacey

I'm not sure why my 5 GHz channels are disabled, I'm booting from "try ubuntu", I have tried this on 2 different Lenovo laptop models and the results are similar where a lot of the 5g channels are disabled. I tried to boot this off of a Asus mobo desktop but I can't get that wifi card to work either... I thought Telus IP TV must work on 5g hence --freq-band 5 is a requirement?

Very odd, I booted Ubuntu off my MacBook laptop and it worked fine for 5G.

Maybe the card doesn't have the right regulatory country set on it. Can you show me the output of iw reg get?

Can you also run iw reg set CA and then run the iw list again and show me the output?

zorq avatar Sep 30 '21 01:09 zorq

Hmm, no change. It still doesn't work when you try with channel 153 for example?

Can you also try with --freq-band 2.4? This is only used for registering the network so I think you'll be able to use 5G fine afterwards. And at least we can see whether your WiFi card doesn't work on 2.4G either.

Also, do you have any USB WiFi adapters lying around that you could use instead of the built-in WiFi?

Btw, what WiFi card do you have?

peacey avatar Sep 30 '21 01:09 peacey

I tried 2.4 but the tv box doesn't detect the signal. It's a integrated wifi card on lenovo laptops. I have tried this on two lenovo laptops of different model and the results are same, i believe they are running intel wifi. I don't have any USB wifi adapters lying around. The only other option I have is the desktop but I can't get the wifi to work on that. It's a Asus ROG Strix x570-e gaming mobo.

zorq avatar Sep 30 '21 01:09 zorq

Let me run it on my other laptop tonight that I believe has Intel WiFi and I'll get back to you.

peacey avatar Sep 30 '21 01:09 peacey

After doing some research, it seems Intel WiFi adapters do not support 5 GHz AP mode. It's disabled by Intel in the hardware/driver (see here or here. All 3 of your devices seem to be using Intel cards.

So that means you will need to find another device that has another WiFi card, or you will need to buy a USB WiFi adapter that supports 5GHz AP mode ($15-$25 on Amazon).

Do you have any other device you could try?

peacey avatar Sep 30 '21 07:09 peacey

Let me try one from amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07P6N2TZH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'll report back after. Thank you for your help!

zorq avatar Sep 30 '21 09:09 zorq

I will also buy a couple adapters and test out which ones work and report back. It's not so straightforward because driver support is all over the place with different features for different chipsets and it's difficult to figure out which would work. Looks like I was very lucky that my laptop worked the first time without any issues!

peacey avatar Sep 30 '21 16:09 peacey

FYI, the TP-Link Archer T3U you linked uses a Realtek RTL8812BU chipset, and I found this driver for it that claims to support 5GHz AP mode. So we definitely should be able to get it to work with that driver if not the native one, hopefully. I'll get mine on Saturday and will test it then.

peacey avatar Sep 30 '21 23:09 peacey

Thanks for the help! I ended up buying this as it claims to work with Linux out of box

zorq avatar Sep 30 '21 23:09 zorq

I believe that one uses the Realtek RTL8821CU chipset. There is also a driver for that in case the built-in driver doesn't work. Tell me how that goes!

peacey avatar Sep 30 '21 23:09 peacey

So I got my usb adapter, can't seem to get it to function. I tried following the link you provided but it isn't working... I see the device under lsusb, but i don't see the device when checking with ip link. Thanks...

zorq avatar Oct 02 '21 02:10 zorq

Some good news! I got my Archer T3U earlier than expected today and was able to get it working easily with the driver I linked. 5G AP mode worked without any extra options needed and the TELUS box was able to connect to it via WPS. So at least we know that works!

Your device should hopefully be just as straight forward if it uses that other driver I linked. I actually ordered yours today and will be receiving it tomorrow. I'll tell you how to do it if it's successful.

FYI, you need to install and load the driver. Not sure if you did that. Anyways I'll figure out the process tomorrow.

Cheers!

peacey avatar Oct 02 '21 05:10 peacey

Can you explain the process of installing and loading the driver? I'm not savvy in the Linux world unfortunately lol. Thanks!

So I received the BrosTrend today and was able to get it working quite easily with the driver I linked. 5G AP mode also worked fine. Here are some rough instructions for how to install the driver for it.

Install the module first:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git bc dkms
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU.git
cd rtl8821CU
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
cd ~

The install will take 5 minutes or so. Afterwards, load the module:

sudo modprobe 8821cu

You should get no errors. Then, unplug and replug the usb wifi adapter. Now the light on the adapter should come on, and if you check under ip link you'll find it's interface name is something like wlxXXXXXXXXXX, where XXXX... is the MAC address of it. Use that interface name in the rest of the instructions.

You don't need any extra options like specifying the channel, just use the instructions normally and it should work.

See how it goes!

peacey avatar Oct 03 '21 00:10 peacey

This issue has just saved me after hours of troubleshooting; by chance I had the exact same wireless adapter lying around but only realized it after I wanted to give up and buy the one you recommended here Peacey, The images on amazon looked awfully similar to the one I had that was not recognized in ubuntu... After installing the driver it totally worked like a charm <3. I think all the resets might have messed up the configuration on the iptv box since all it does is initializing after the steps... but I have yet to try again.

This looks like a Secure Boot issue (the driver has to be signed properly to be loadable if Secure Boot is enabled). Can you please disable Secure Boot in your computer's UEFI/BIOS and try again, or try a different computer that doesn't use Secure Boot?

@zorq, you need to re-run all the commands to install it first then load it again. Linux booted from the USB is not persistent.

So I received the BrosTrend today and was able to get it working quite easily with the driver I linked. 5G AP mode also worked fine. Here are some rough instructions for how to install the driver for it.

Install the module first:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git bc dkms
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU.git
cd rtl8821CU
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
cd ~

The install will take 5 minutes or so. Afterwards, load the module:

sudo modprobe 8821cu

You should get no errors. Then, unplug and replug the usb wifi adapter. Now the light on the adapter should come on, and if you check under ip link you'll find it's interface name is something like wlxXXXXXXXXXX, where XXXX... is the MAC address of it. Use that interface name in the rest of the instructions.

You don't need any extra options like specifying the channel, just use the instructions normally and it should work.

See how it goes!

I ran exactly these commands, with secure boot disabled.
