524WiFi recently announced the compatibility of DRiver m. module DR9074-TRIBAND with ATH11K on Linux, expanding its support beyond Qualcomm platforms to various Linux embedded systems, including Ubuntu. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of loading the driver for DR9074-Triband on Linux 5.17.0, demonstrating its seamless integration with ath11k. The module is showcased to function effectively in both AP (Access Point) and STA (Station) modes across the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduction to DR9074 (QCN9024):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DR9074-Triband<\/a>, equipped with the Qualcomm Atheros QCN9024 chipset, is an advanced enterprise wireless module. It incorporates a 4×4 MU-MIMO Dual Band Wireless Module, tailored for mobile access in high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, voice communication, and data transmission. Key features include a maximum power of 23 dBm per chain, supporting data rates up to 4949Mbps. Operating in Tri-Band (2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz) with 4×4 WiFi 6E (802.11ax) and 4 spatial streams, it features an M.2 E Key Interface and PCI Express 3.0 Interface. Applications span security surveillance, commercial radio coverage, hotel wireless setups, and specialized scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
