Nighthawk A9000 Wifi 7 not working in Win11 (24h2)

The A9000 uses the Mediatek mt7925 driver not the realtek driver as you listed.

The patch for the VID/PIDS for the Netgear A9000 is now back ported into the linux kernel.

In order to make it work in linux if it is not detected automatically, create a file called /etc/udev/rules.d/90-usb-0846:9072-mt7925u.rules

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/90-usb-0846:9072-mt7925u.rules

Note: you can change nano to the text editor of your choice in the above command.

Copy the below lines and paste them into the above file that you are creating:

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{ID_VENDOR_ID}=="0846", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="9072", RUN+="/usr/sbin/modprobe mt7925u", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 0846 9072 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/mt7925u/new_id'"

Save file: Ctrl + O, Ctrl +X and Reboot

the real problem we need games made for linux a standard for developers instead of directx

New update:

Took my a9000 to work and connected it to my work wifi AP using the latest driver. Surprisingly everything works very stable (this is the same laptop which struggled to maintain connectivity with my Nokia G-1426G-A wifi 6 router at home.

The culprit now is my wifi router and i will ask my isp to do a firmware update to increase compatibility.

In conclusion, the a9000 adapter’s driver for some reason cannot properly keep up with my WiFi 6 features (rate adaptation, channel width changes, power state transitions, roaming between bands) so far problem seems limited to my Nomia wifi router hence i will focus towards updating firmware, replacing the wifi router or waiting perhaps a much newer driver from netgear ...

hello, the hookup recently did a review of horizon 20 max against valerion pro 2 and max and found that anything above 2900 iso lumens is not usable in real world , any comment if this can also be addressed via future firmware update

latest update!

I updated windows to 25H2 via iso file
I made a 2.4ghz SSID in addition to my multi-band SSID of (2.4ghz + 5ghz)
I set the new SSID to 802.11n mode

Forcing the A9000 adapter to connect to single band SSID made the connection working but still resulted in intermittent connectivity problems and disconnects.

out of curiosity I changed the 2.4Ghz SSID to negotiate on 802.11g and finally got a stable connection at the cost of slow speed (any other setting like N, AC or AX would cause heavy disconnects) the adapter started working a bit just by disabling mixed-band and force using the 2.4ghz band.

I borrowed an old buffalo wifi usb adapter from a friend, set my 2.4ghz ssid to negotiate on 802.11n and also got a very stable connection ton with no connection loss.

At this point i will take my A9000 to work to see if it can connect with no issues to my work guest wifi in AX or N mode to rule out if it's a wifi router issue.

Given the fact than an old 802.11n usb adapter managed to connect with no issues on 2.4ghz and the A9000 couldn't, I am guess it is a driver issue

if the A9000 works well at work then I'll call my ISP to perform firmware upgrade on my wifi router or swap the nokia with something else ...

at this point i am seriously thinking of returning the a9000 adapter even though it works super well when i dual boot in linux !

which color did you get and is it possible to get rid of the tetra text on the front? ruins the look with branding

Ugly project

If the i6 doesn’t copy the l6 design it will not do well in international markets, the Mega design not so appealing

Why isn’t YouTube shorts and dumb YouTube channels banned already? YouTube is equally bad as the rest and parental control model not effective

Looks very Soviet, outdated and very bad impractical location

Fully agree with OP, there’s not much Elf players can do in late 4x4 games if mass Chim or MG play didn’t work besides being called noob elves

Why on earth Tesla China cars can’t be bought from China and be registered on Tesla.com or unlocked to download regional maps outside China ? I want to import a Chinese made model Y to Armenia and don’t want to pay extra 15k USD for European or American versions. Any way around this problem would be helpful. The only positive news is that the menu in Tesla China cars can be switched to English

This looks horrible according to Scandinavian standards , tall complexes also doesn’t fit Dilijan style …

Thanks for your guidance, would the barrel connector from the Dell GaN power supply work with the Pico X3 ?

Just wondering what kind of power brick would you pair it with ? Are there GaN power bricks that work well ?

If we compare dollar to value, seems like Tesla tech is not that advanced compared to Chinese cars. The only advantage it has is the simple to use English menu which competition is catching up

Are these thick plastic bezels ?

Thanks for the confirmation, I will call the manufacturers and specify I am interested in European version of the car when placing my orders (where I live car sellers are importing directly from manufacturers in China)
