@crispyoz Keep in mind though we do only have USB2 so there will still be a bottleneck.

My preference is really to have 5GHz built into the the Pro or a version of the Pro. Purely from a mechanical point of view, my IoT device exposed the mini-usb port on my case so users can power the device, this would mean I have to also expose the USB-A port with the 5GHz dongle which looks pretty messy and I know users will unplug it or fiddle with it and then complain they have no network connectivity. Alternatively I would need to redesign my case to move the Omega away from the side of my case and use a short mini-usb case mounted port. Either way it's messy.

I would like to use my Omega Pro as a router offering both 2.4GHz and 5GHz access points.

So far, I've only been able to activate one or the other, but not both at the same time.

And yes, I know about the Onion Application Note on a 5GHz WiFi solution.

Any help would be welcomed.

A clean and complete recompilation of the latest version from the git repo did the trick.
