Verify model, firmware, radio privileges and required tools. Generic SSH is not proof of feature support. Ruckus access points SSH / rkscli / rpcapd AP-specific discovery and capture workflows in the app. Firmware, monitoring mode and privileges affect each operation; confirm exact AP. Ekahau Pulse / Sidekick ESP2 protocol over TCP Model-specific capture integration in the project. Exact model and firmware required; Linux Bluetooth support is not implied. Oscium Nomad Onsite gRPC with mutual TLS Model-specific app integration. Discovery, certificates and supported model/workflow need confirmation. WiPry / NetAlly NXT-2000 / AirWire spectrum sources Source-specific transport · mobile app / supported sensor USB Spectrum integrations; units, geometry and calibration depend on the source. Confirm exact model/build. The sensor console provides managed NetAlly sweeps and bounded WiPry acquisition; complete analyzer qualification remains open.
Radio cards and channel widths
The board, adapter, firmware, driver, country and image version determine the available bands and widths together. Intel BE200, MediaTek MT7921U/MT7925U and Qualcomm WCN7850 have different capabilities and evidence. A Wi-Fi 7 badge is not a verified 320 MHz result.
Use the unified release notes for the current artifact's tests and remaining limits.
The interface matters too
The device website and app do not yet have full parity. SSH connectivity does not guarantee monitor mode; BLE connectivity does not guarantee continuous packet throughput; packet capture does not guarantee a spectrum source. Each feature page identifies its current controls.
Before buying third-party equipment specifically for Commander, confirm the exact model and task.
