Configuring Advanced Settings on Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Adapters

=====================================================================================

Introduction

----------

The Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 is a single-band WiFi card designed to operate within the 2.4 GHz frequency band, making it incompatible with dual-band or tri-band Wi-Fi networks that also utilize the 5GHz spectrum.

Understanding Single-Band vs Dual-Band Cards

---------------------------------------

It's essential to understand the difference between single-band and dual-band (or even tri-band) WiFi cards before purchasing a new adapter. If your current card is labeled as 'b/g/n,' it indicates that you have an older, single-frequency device capable of operating only on 2.4 GHz.
