    Random 802.11 packets on wl0(2.4ghz)?

    To expand on the title, I picked up some random packets while running tcpdump for my wl0 2.4ghz interface. These packets seem to refer to other wireless devices inferred from the packet data. No IPs or any identifiers, just my router’s MAC addr in each packet header. Is this just random AP...

    ASUS TUF Gaming AX4200 always broadcasting WiFi, even with radio turned off

I then realized that the router was still broadcasting a WiFi with a random name. Example: "42HCNXLDKW496M2495XRTFFN349N". Everytime I enable the 2.4 or 5GHz WiFi...

    RSSI data for AiMesh Node devices

    Two RT-AX68U (fw 388.1) routers are in AiMesh mode.

How to find "Rx/Tx & RSSI" parameters for devices connected to a AiMesh Node?
