Posted: Sat Sep 17, 2016 4:14 Post subject: Limiting Auto-channel
In the Wireless/Basic setup page, when I select "Auto" in channel, it selects between channels 1-14. In Brazil, since only channels 1-11 are allowed, it goes straight to channel 14, which its always empty. The result is that my notebook (and other devices) immediately loses connection. Is there any way to limit the auto-channel selection to channels 1-11? I searched and was unable to find where to set this.
Note: I’m using build 30631(2016/09/14), running the build for Aceex NR22
Do you see Country Settings on top of the Wireless/Basic setup page? Did you set the Regulatory Domain to Brazil? I don't have NR22 so I can't confirm on it myself. On my EA6500, if I set the Regulatory Domain to Brazil, it has only channel 1 to 11 for 2.4GHz.
BTW since NR22 use a Ralink chip so I will move this thread to the Ralink sub-forum.
No, there is no country option in Wireless/basic. The only available option are:
-Wireless mode;
-Wireless Network Mode;
-802.11n Transmisson mode;
-Wireless Network Mode;
-Wireless Channel;
-Channel Width;
-Wireless SSID Broadcast;
-Network Configuration.
And that's all there is in this build.
It is possible but I am not sure. However, since the build that you are using is quite recent, it is strange that the option is removed. It could be because the router has only 4M of flash so can't put too many options there. Just a guess though!
BTW, what is the reason for not using a fix channel instead of Auto?

There are lots of other 2.4GHz AP's in our building, and one of them belongs to an internet provider, that uses quite a strong AP that seems to be using auto channel. So, sometimes, my connecting stops working properly because that commercial AP jumped to the same channel I'm using and it does interfere with my AP.
Since the command is no available in the Web-GUI, wouldn't you know how to set this option in the CLI? I searched the wiki, but it's heavily focused in the 'wl' command, which the version I have installed does not have.
Using wl, it would probably be the command 'wl country' or 'wl regulatory'. But without wl, there is no other doc speaking of where I should check. Any ideas?
I am afraid I don't have any idea how you can fix the problem besides asking you to buy another router. BTW, have you tried increasing the Tx power setting and see if it helps.

Yes, I've tried that. Unfortunately, the AP became unstable after increasing the TX power.
