Hello. The ruoter I am using is Linksys e4200v1, and firmware is "dd-wrt.v24-47305_NEWD-2_K3.x_mega-e4200". In the "Wireless Network Mode" dropdown menu, there is an entry of "N-Only(2.4G)" in addtion to "N-Only(5G)". And the label for this interface is "wl1[2.4G/5G]".

Does it mean that this interface emit both 2.4G and 5G signal? I thought that wl1 is the 5G interface and wl0 is the 2.4G one.

The BCM4331 is dual-band.

Vert intersting.
Now if I select N-Only(2.4G), wl1 indeed becomes a 2.4G interface. Not that this configuration will be of much use, but very interesting capabilities for this chip.
