Multicast is required for IPTV on a bridge with both Ethernet and Wi-Fi =
cards. This can also be done with an external router, such as the TP-LINK =
Archer AX23 with OpenWRT. However, this setup introduces double NAT =
translation, and the TP-LINK device struggles down during Multicast =
handling for IPTV. It often stops working properly, and other services=
no longer function. Additionally, it is impossible to connect to the =
Archer AX23's 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks with any devices other than the TV. =
For these reasons, I opted for the Intel AX210, but unfortunately, HOSTAP =
does not work on this card.<br></div><div style=3D"font-size: =

The iwlwifi supports hostap only for 11a and with that is a bit =
special.
I currently have no plans to add HOSTAP support to LinuxKPI for =
iwlwifi;
more likely it'll come with some other drivers in the future which=
make
a lot more sense to run as AP.
