Hello, I installed aircrack on my router but I cannot put any interface in monitor mode, I use the iwlist command that allows me to see what interfaces are available to use, but I cannot put them in monitor mode or use aircrack. Does anyone know if I should configure a new interface? or how can I use aircrack in this device?

MT300N-V2 default firmware does not support nl802.11 interface. Cannot work as monitor mode.

Here are two way:

1. You can install vanilla openwrt firmware on MT300N-V2
2. You choose other models, AR150, AR300M, AR750, AR750s
