UNII-3 Bands enable on AP6 Pro - Changing Country code

Access Points
1

Hi there,

For internal testing purposes we need to change our AP countries to see and test the respectively used bands. However I have no setting to select the country of my AP’s and I see that UNII3 is supported on my AP6 Pro’s, but I can’t seem to select it.

I had selected channel 149 in the past but that now results in the channel reverting to 36 for some reason. Also 149 isn’t selectable anymore. So I’m sure I have worked on 149 but now it’s not there anymore.

Even more, we are also testing the DFS capabilities on the AP and would need to change the country code so DFS isn’t active.

There are certain circumstances in which we would be able to help out in this case. I recommend reaching out to us at support@alta.inc to let us get a better grasp on the details as anything related to regulatory adjustments can’t be stated publicly.

Channel 149 isn’t permitted in the EU, this was recently corrected in the code which explains why you once saw it but is no longer available. If this is needed for testing, again, I would defer to emailing us to potentially progress on that subject.

Morning.

Seems I cannot get to select channel 149 or above here in the UK despite them being legal - am I missing something?

Thanks
Carl

On which model of AP?

AP6-PRO

I do see my timezone is Europe/London but the rules for Channel 149-165 here in the UK have been relaxed since at least 2020

It appears as though these channels are reserved and require a license to operate on in the UK per Ofcom: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/spectrum/radio-equipment/fixed-wireless-access/ - Dated March 16, 2023.

If you have something that contradicts this, we’ll be happy to look into it, but it would need to be from the regulatory domain itself.
