802.11ac and 802.11n at 5GHz

Hi,

Is it possible on a Raspberry Pi 2 (or 3) with Windows 10 IoT Core to have Wifi 802.11ac and 802.11n at 5GHz?

I know the list of compatible hardware: https://ms-iot.github.io/content/en-US/ ... Fi-Dongles

None of the Wifi dongles in the list supports ac or n at 5GHz. However, I know that you can make work other Wifi dongles if you get the driver (compiled for ARM) and you install it with devcon.exe (I have a Edimax EW-7811UN working on one of my Raspberries with Windows IoT Core after downloading the ARM drivers from Edimax web page).

Also, I suppose that if you have the source code you can compile it in the architecture of your choice.

In conclusion, there is some way to obtain the drivers for ARM (or compile it) of a Wifi dongle with ac or n at 5GHz?

Thank you!

It's not possible. You are at Microsoft's mercy and they are at the mercy of the dongle developers producing a special driver for Windows IoT on ARM.

Someone knows another OEM of Wi-Fi dongles (excluding Edimax) who have published drivers for Windows Core IoT?
