In this video, I am going to install the Wallys DR900VX Wireless Module (Qualcomm-Atheros QCA9880 chipset) on the Intel N5105 Router PC and configure it. At the end, there will be a quick iperf3 throughput test.
Basically, the installation is very simple and you just need to install the below packages if you are using modules that is based on the QCA988x:

- ath10k-firmware-qca988x-ct (Alternative ath10k firmware for QCA988X from Candela Technologies.)
- kmod-ath10k-ct (ath10k-ct driver optimized for CT firmware)
- hostapd ( to enable 802.1x/WPA/EAP/RADIUS Authenticator)

Video timeframe:
00:00 - Intro & Hardware Overview
01:11 - Check if the Wireless Network Adapter is Detected (LuCI & lspci)
