is it possible to enable dualband or even 2.4 GHz on QCA9994? (Compex WLE1216V5-20)

is it possible to enable dualband or even 2.4 GHz on QCA9994? (Compex WLE1216V5-20)

[Lindner, Frank]

This card is only 5GHz capable. Is this somehow possible to enable dualband or 2.4 GHz channels, even when there is no suitable LNA on the module?
When yes, how to do this?

Thanks

Best Regards,
Frank

hi,

I mean, if you can load a calibrration data file that has 2G cal data
and 2G enabled, then maybe. But IIRC only at firmware load time, and
it's not exactly the supported config.

I think zcomax makes a 2.4Ghz NIC with 9984 chipset, but that NIC cannot do 5Ghz as far as I know.

Thanks,

hi,

wait - is that besra? if it's besra then nope - 5G only. If it's
beeliner or cascade then I think you can do 2G, but no dynamic 2G/5G?

AW: is it possible to enable dualband or even 2.4 GHz on QCA9994? (Compex WLE1216V5-20)

[Lindner, Frank]

Hi.
9994 is Cascade, which should be 2.4 GHz capable as fas as Qualcomm is correct on their specs site.
Question was not, which other card can do 2.4 GHz. I want to enable 2.4 GHz / dualband mode via some registers or what ever on this card.
Where can I find the calbration files  you've mentioned?

Hi,

I /think/ cascade doesn't have the ability to run dual mode. It's
designed to either be 2G or 5G, and not both like STA mode. I'd have
to go check.

(I think I ran over this issue at work recently..)

[Lindner, Frank]

Hi,

Adrian, do you have some updates? I search for an dualband card (MINI PCIe) with 4x4 Wave2, like 9984 o 9994. It will be needed only for receiving path. And I need the info, if and how is possible to enable dualband mode. If there is some physics like LNA or what ever missing, we can do this our self.
Thanks.

It looks like it's really designed as either 2g or 5g. You could make
your own card up with both 2g/5g paths but you'd have to reload the
firmware/calibration data as needed to band switch. it wouldn't be
"automatic". :(

sorry!

[Lindner, Frank]

Hi,

as far as I understand, I need a special "board.bin"-file or "firmware-x.bin"-file to say the card it should make 2g or 5g?
So where do I get those "special" files? Or can I build them myself?
I can not find any helpful information on "Google".

Thanks

You'd have to also build the NIC to do it, yeah.

You'd have to get them from your vendor. :P
