Airodump scanning 2.4 and 5Ghz channels?
« on: March 21, 2019, 01:27:28 pm »

I'm new to Aircrack.  I'm running Airodump successfully with my AWUS036AC (RTL8812AU).  By default Airodump scans the 2.4Ghz channels. Can it also scan the 5Ghz channels?  And if so, would it capture more APs and clients?

yes.

Here is an excerpt of the man pages of airodump-ng:

Code: [Select]
-b <abg>, --band <abg>
              Indicate the band on which airodump-ng should hop. It can be a combination of 'a', 'b' and 'g' letters ('b' and 'g' uses 2.4GHz and 'a' uses 5GHz). Incompatible with --channel option.
