Re: 7.9 WiFi-Wave2 abomination

Exactly why they need LONG BETA CYCLES. And since you think it's software... They might actually be able to "fix it". Unlike the Wave2 chips stuck with a Wave 1 driver due to a HARDWARE limitation making it impossible to shoehorn the right driver in.

The Default of Cap ACs is to run as a router.

You need to set them to be simple APs that bridge all interfaces as a start.
