I have a AX1800 here and I’m having some issues with getting packets in in monitor mode. Instructions have been followed as above.
Firmware is 4.2.1, so up to date.
After installing airmon-ng, I’m asked to get lsusb.
root@GL-AXT1800:~# airmon-ng
Please install lsusb from your distro's package manager.
root@GL-AXT1800:~#
This is sorted with:
opkg install usbutils
I run
airmon-ng check kill
I start wlan1 (2.4GHz) in monitor mode:
root@GL-AXT1800:~# airmon-ng
PHY Interface Driver Chipset
phy0 wlan0 ath11k Not pci, usb, or sdio
phy1 wlan1 ath11k Not pci, usb, or sdio
root@GL-AXT1800:~# airmon-ng start wlan1 1
Found 3 processes that could cause trouble.
Kill them using 'airmon-ng check kill' before putting
the card in monitor mode, they will interfere by changing channels
and sometimes putting the interface back in managed mode

I start airodump-ng - there are at least 10 APs and lots of clients on channel 1 round here:
airodump-ng --channel 1 wlan1mon
And I get something in airodump-ng, but not what is happening:
Any ideas?
