Nexmonster / nexmon_csi

Nexmonster is a group of people trying to provide excellent documentation, and an easy installation experience for seemoo-lab/nexmon_csi.

We primarily support Raspberry Pi (3B+ and 4), and Asus RT-AC86U. If you need help with other devices, please create an Issue :)

If you're using Nexmon_CSI, please let me know via email (aravind.reddy@iiitb.org) or Discussions and I'll feature your work.

Collecting CSI

Raspberry Pi

Pi Version Kernel Version Link Notes
Pi 3B+ and 4 5.10.92 https://github.com/nexmonster/nexmon_csi/tree/pi-5.10.92 This is the recommended version with RSSI and FC.
Pi 3B+ and 4 5.4.51 https://github.com/nexmonster/nexmon_csi/tree/pi-5.4.51 Uses the legacy 5.4.51 Kernel with old packet format.
Pi 3B+ and 4 5.4.51 https://github.com/nexmonster/nexmon_csi/tree/pi-5.4.51-plus Like 5.4.51, but includes more data like RSSI, Source and Destination Mac ID. Use https://github.com/zeroby0/csi-explorer to plot data.
Pi 3B+ and 4 4.19.97 https://github.com/nexmonster/nexmon_csi/tree/pi-4.19.97 Uses the legacy 4.19.97 Kernel. Use this if you're facing problems with other versions, or you need to use Kernel v4.19.97 for some reason.

Asus RT-AC86U

Device Link Notes
RT-AC86U nexmonster#2 Short and Quick guide using precompiled binaries
RT-AC86U nexmonster#7 Longer guide that shows how to compile from source
