siftyy Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I am not familiar with the FCCs rules and regulations regarding 2.4 Ghz wifi, if you connect a radio via the usb interface does it count as a separate radio or is it on the same board as another radio because of usb placement on the board. I don't really know what I'm saying so if you can't follow me; I want to have 2 point to point connections using both of the build in antennas and then a point to multipoint connection via a different radio (likely an alfa) connected to the usb interface, is this legal.

Oli Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'm sure it is legal - due to the hardware bug the solution is to use another USB WIFi interface anyway. Out of interest, what are you trying to do? Perhaps XBEE would be a better route? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 From the way I've interpreted the rules the regulations governing point-to-point vs point-to-multipoint are on a radio basis. Seeing that the MK5 is the only dual-radio WiFi system on the market I can't see how legally it would be any different than two separate systems attached. For example two MK4s connected by Ethernet. I have successfully made long distance repeater links with MK5s using wlan0 as AP and wlan1 as client. I can't imagine adding a third interface would be any different.
