Country channels

[AlphaBeet]

Could not find a way to change region to allow non-US channels past 11. Could anyone please advise on how that can be done to use in the U.K./Europe?  I remember seeing an option to choose country at setup but assumed that can  be adjusted later as needed. 

thanks

There currently isn't a way to do this in the module's menu. Perhaps you can change a value via cabinet? I haven't look through it but the only way I am aware (on version 2.1.0) to change country code is by doing a firmware recovery / factory reset.

Edit /etc/config/wireless on your Pineapple over a SSH terminal.
Country codes are specified within the "config wifi-device 'radioX' section.

Example:

config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option channel '11'
        option hwmode '11g'
        option path 'platform/ar934x_wmac'
        option htmode 'HT20'
        option country 'NO'

Remember that's for 'radio0'. You also have 'radio1'  further down within the file.

Perfect thank you very much!

You also have the ability to set this during device Setup for both radios.

Thanks for the clarification, although having a toggle/select as you move across countries would be helpful instead of resetting it each time. Not sure If it can cause trouble in the, for example, US if I have a device configured for Europe and it’s seeking channels which are perhaps out of bounds to the public...? I know that’s being paranoid but having that as a menu would be helpful for a handful of users, at least!
