Enabling channel 12 and 13 on Ath

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi I've been trying to enable channel 12 and 13 on my Qualcomm Atheros QCA9533

I am not in america and it is legal where I live
I already tried changing my country to any other one and phy#0 still shows up as US
I am ready to change any config or anything

I saw someone about ath9k regd patch I think it's helpful for doing this, please and thank you

I am also willing to compile and reflash if needed

they just work here in Australia when I set my country to match
but some devices still default to US so 13 will not always work on the adapter side
so you have to get up-to-date drivers for you adapters & set the country there as well

Works here in the United Kingdom.

Which router model are you having issues with?

If this is US version of a device, the channels might be additionally restricted in the art partition, but usually the country code would be used for that. If the country code still shows as US, what's the output of iw reg get? You could try iw reg set plus the (two-character) country code.

you do not need any reg patch, you you need a reg.db with different information in US section, like use US section with EU information.
all is in /lib/firmware

doing iw reg set(my country) and then doing iw reg get still gets the exact same result nothing changes

the work around is to have the infos of your contry, in US section.
to do that you need create a new reg.db in lib/firmware. do not ask me here please how do that, seach for that. so you can legally set your country.
