I'll keep DisableHT for my tests, then. However, there's still something I don't quite understand. I'm trying to set up this AP: [General] DisableHT=true Channel=36 [Security] Passphrase=*********** [IPv4] Address=10.0.5.1 Gateway=10.0.5.1 Netmask=255.255.255.0 IPRange=10.0.5.100,10.0.5.110 but I keep getting this error: # iwctl ap muap0 start-profile smarc5GHz Argument type is wrong AFAIK, 5GHz band supports up to Channel=37. Is this supported by iwd? Thanks! -- Best regards, João Marcos Costa
