I just mounted a box with a ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING WIFI II |
2 |
motherboard. I'm not a gamer; one of the reasons I chose this was the |
3 |
build-in WiFi. Bad idea! The thing does not support AP mode, which I |
4 |
need. Nothing in the mo manual suggests such a limitation. |
5 |
Here are the details, in case someone with the same hw has a better |
6 |
experience and would share it. Otherwise, it may be useful as a |
7 |
warning. I know I will not purchase ASUS and/or Mediatek again. |
