Please provide more details and device make/model.

cat /etc/config/wireless

Please only test the correct country setting.

i am in india but as it does not work with india to start wifi i need to change to other

Wait, USA works?

(Kinda difficult to discuss your illegal configuration.)

Can you provide a log with the correct country setting (while using 2.4 or wireed to access the device)?

Details and config please.

this one is the conf i use and wifi works for this country

IL?

Isn't India IN?

  • Can we try default settings?
  • SAE mixed?

no i am india for 2.4 it works with in but for 5ghz wifi does not start with in as country

So you intended to set Isreal on 5.4 GHz?

I understand.

Also post

ubus call system board

though i am in india but as it does not work for india with 5ghz i have to set it to isreal.

Please post.

I understand.

Try setting channel 36 and IN instead of auto.

yes it works if do it manually it works smoothly

OK...thanks for the clarification.

How long are you waiting?

Log please?

here is a video of the issue

I saw the video.

Same questions:

The video doesn't show the log, and what you show usually displays when no client is connected.

Some countries require you to wait a few minutes, depending on channel.

i wait for the time that usually take to start a wifi

i have tested with usa in that case it take 10sec to start but for india it never starts

how can i share logs can you help me please?

logread

(Or go to the logs menu on the LuCI web GUI and copy/paste)

Lucky. I assumed you waited at least 5 minutes.

Feel free to use channel 36 if you don't wish to wait.

this was taken when i changed to in

look it is already 6min still no 5ghz now it is 12min still no wifi for 5ghz i have to change to isreal or usa to have 5ghz
