July 2025 – rdkcentral/rdk-wifi-hal: Implemented a precise WiFi band assignment fix and enhanced observability to improve reliability and prevent misconfigurations. The change enforces that 802.11g is strictly assigned to the 2.4 GHz band and adds a debug log for ignored legacy rates in the 6 GHz band, reducing customer issues and aligning with WiFi7 neighboring AP handling expectations.

April 2025 (2025-04) for rdkcentral/OneWifi focused on simplifying the Wi‑Fi scanning workflow by removing off-channel scanning (OCS) for secondary channels. This change updates channel selection to emphasize primary channels, reducing configuration complexity and potentially improving scanning performance. The implementation is tied to commit 6ae24cc5632198deda3d1af6a3f0a15b1a6581b8 (RDKB-58211) and PR #215.

March 2025: Delivered targeted channel scanning refinement in the OneWifi repo to exclude on-channel channels from secondary scans, improving scan efficiency and reducing redundant monitoring. Implemented a fetch-and-filter flow that compares the input scan list with the on-channel scan list, prioritizing primary channels and avoiding unnecessary scans of secondary channels already under observation. This work enhances discovery speed and stability in congested environments and reduces overhead in scans across devices. The effort aligns with RDKB-58211 and is associated with commit b6af9bef51ee60ae9a5c60bc9b9299d2f1afb471 ("RDKB-58211-Remove OCS for secondary channels (#191)").
