Connection with the outside world is via ethernet, as I prefer to keep disabled the wifi in the the ISP-owned router. Thanks for the links.

I'm pretty sure none of these built-in wi-fis like that will support AP mode. They would much rather charge more for that feature. https://www.524wifi.com/index.php/network-modules-adapters/wifi-6-11-ax-modules/wle3000h2-11ax-4x4-mu-mimo-2-4ghz-qcn-9024-wifi-6-802-11ax-2-4-ghz-single-band-mini-pcie-module-compex.html https://forum.openwrt.org/t/802-11ax-wifi-ap-mpci-e-cards/63577/2 I own a similar motherboard but I don't use the wi-fi.

[gentoo-user] mediatek mt7921: no AP?
I just mounted a box with a ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING WIFI II motherboard. I'm not a gamer; one of the reasons I chose this was the build-in WiFi. Bad idea! The thing does not support AP mode, which I need. Nothing in the mo manual suggests such a limitation. Here are the details, in case someone with the same hw has a better experience and would share it. Otherwise, it may be useful as a warning. I know I will not purchase ASUS and/or Mediatek again.
