Thank so much for getting back so quickly, and yes totally! I will be looking into the 5G love your products!

rtl8722DM mini (ameba BW23), similarly, would be great to able to run deauther on - 5ghz support, cheap board.

Hey - new to Arduino/network boards. Have an ESP8266 with the deauther, but got the RTL8720DN recently to see if it was possible to deauth on the 5GHz band. Anything new on BW16 support? Everything I can find on Google seems to be for pi boards running linux with Wi-Fi adapters

I have managed to send raw frames including deauth and beacon frames on an RTL8720dn using 5Ghz WiFi. It would be really cool if someone could port the deauther to this board using the research that I've done. Here's the link to my blog post where I explain it: Sending Raw IEEE 802.11 Frames using an RTL8720dn

Does anyone have deauther BW16?

I have written an experimental deauther for the bw16 and another one is already in development. Rtl8720dn-Deauther

I have the board, and it works great for deauthing 5ghz networks using @tesa-klebeband code
