Experimental Simple Mode: Any advantages beside compatibility?
Does anybody have any more information how Experimental Simple Mode is working? Are there any advantages over Simple Mode beside compatibility to more routers?
I am not able to use DHCP Mode and I have several issues in Simple Mode (DNS dropouts, slow network/internet performance) and I want to know if there could be any advantage in using Experimental Simple Mode even if Simple Mode is working?

There is zero advantage. The reason we build the experimental mode is to make some routers compatible with arp spoofing ... that's pretty much yet. If your router works with simple mode, just stick with that. (if your router doesn't work too well with simple mode, yes, go ahead and try this)
What's the reason you are not able to use DHCP mode? your router doesn't allow you to turn off dhcp?

Switching from 'Simple Mode' to 'Experimental Simple Mode' instantly allowed my Android 13 devices to work again on Wi-Fi while using DHCP or Static IP.
