Does it support AP Mode on the two bands?

Unfortunately I haven't tried that, but FreshTomato is pretty featureful, I wouldn't be surprised if it did

You can check if your device supports AP mode by running "iw list " and looking in the 'Supported interface mode*s' section for "*AP" .

@odhiambo I get the following modes for my TP-Link T3U Plus (AC1300):

	 * IBSS
	 * managed
	 * AP
	 * monitor
	 * P2P-client
	 * P2P-GO

@TomK32 the "AP" bit means it supports AP mode. Which T3U do you have - the nano or the bigger one?
Perhaps you can configure an AP using the 5GHz mode in hostapd.conf and let us know if it works? I'd like to get one if it does.

@odhiambo the big one. It took a while but I have it running as AP on 5Ghz on my Raspberry Pi 3B+

@TomK32 thanks for that update. I am going for it! I needed one like that for the very same purpose. And since it's dual-band, please try and run an AP on each band.
