Hello!
I have Debian 8 and 2 wi-fi routers.
My target is connect to both routers the same time, to have 2 network interfaces.
I did create virtual network interface and change its MAC address (simple increment):
rename8 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID: "POINT_1"
Mode: Managed Frequency: 2.412 GHz Access Point: 01: 17: 9A: 72: 43: AC
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=14 dBm
Retry short limit: 7 RTS thr: off Fragment thr: off
Encryption key: off
Power Management: off
Link Quality=46/70 Signal level=-64 dBm
Rx invalid nwid: 0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag: 0
Tx excessive retries: 0 Invalid misc: 11251 Missed beacon: 0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID: off/any
Mode: Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=14 dBm
Retry short limit: 7 RTS thr: off Fragment thr: off
Encryption key: off
Power Management: off
Btw, I created "wlan1" name but it shows as "rename8"
I can connect to both points from each interface separately.
But when I'm trying to connect both the same time, 2nd interface trying to connect some time and then fails.
1st router use channel #1
2nd not sure, it's ASUS, it has "auto/36/40/44/48", I tried auto and 44. It does not help.
02: 00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
Also, I wonder how to know if my controller supports parallel connections.
Please help to solve this
