### FEAT-14 — Second T3U to replace onboard wlan0 (dual AC radios)
|
||||
- **Status**: `IDEA`
|
||||
- **Area**: hardware + `deploy/yaris_uplink.py`, `deploy/install_netwatch.sh`, `modules/app_network.py`
|
||||
- **Phase**: unassigned
|
||||
- **What**: Owner bought a second TP-Link Archer T3U (RTL8812BU) to replace the onboard
|
||||
BCM43438 currently serving as the internet uplink (wlan0). Both radios would then be fast
|
||||
AC1300 T3U dongles — one AP (wlan1, 5GHz) and one uplink (wlan0) — removing the current
|
||||
tradeoff where away-from-home uploads run over the weak onboard radio.
|
||||
- **Considerations**:
|
||||
- Both dongles share the Pi 3's USB 2.0 bus (~480 Mbps total), so two AC dongles can't both
|
||||
run at full speed simultaneously — but each still far exceeds the onboard radio.
|
||||
- Power: two AC dongles draw more than onboard + one; verify the 5V GPIO feed holds
|
||||
(`vcgencmd get_throttled` should stay `0x0` for no undervoltage).
|
||||
- Interface naming: both radios are USB now, so `wlan0`/`wlan1` may not map predictably —
|
||||
pin `connection.interface-name` and/or add MAC-based udev rules so AP vs uplink never swap.
|
||||
- The rtl88x2bu driver is already built; a second identical dongle should be plug-and-play.
|
||||
- **Status**: `SHIPPED` 2026-08-14
|
||||
- **Area**: hardware + `deploy/yaris_uplink.py`, `deploy/install_netwatch.sh`, `modules/app_network.py`, `deploy/90-yaris-uplink`
|
||||
- **Phase**: Phase 29
|
||||
- **What**: Owner added a second TP-Link Archer T3U (RTL8812BU) to replace the onboard
|
||||
BCM43438 as the internet uplink. Both radios are now AC1300 T3U dongles — `wlan1` (T3U #1)
|
||||
hosts the 5GHz in-car AP, `wlan2` (T3U #2) carries the uplink (home-wifi + phone-hotspot),
|
||||
and the onboard `wlan0` is retired to a weak fallback. Removes the old tradeoff where
|
||||
away-from-home uploads ran over the weak onboard radio.
|
||||
- **Changes**: `PRIMARY_INTERFACE=wlan2` / `FALLBACK_INTERFACE=wlan0` / `AP_INTERFACE=wlan1`
|
||||
in `yaris_uplink.py` + `app_network.py`; `install_netwatch.sh` rebinds `home-wifi` +
|
||||
`phone-hotspot` to wlan2 and recreates the `home-wifi-fb` fallback on wlan0; the NM
|
||||
dispatcher (`90-yaris-uplink`) now listens on `wlan0|wlan1|wlan2`.
|
||||
- **Verified**: the second T3U enumerates as `wlan2` (rtl88x2bu) and
|
||||
`vcgencmd get_throttled` = `0x0` (no undervoltage with both dongles powered).
|
||||
- **Open item**: interface-name pinning relies on USB enumeration order; if the two T3Us ever
|
||||
swap ports, `wlan1`/`wlan2` swap — a MAC-based udev/`.link` rule is the robust follow-up.
