Wing 5.8.5 Country code AP7532 -xxx WR

[Phil_storey]

I have an AP732-67040-WR, The controller see's it fine but the AP LED's are just on, So I know this is invaild country code, Via the CLI I see the following

"error setting country of operation. gb [United Kingdom] not supported on hardware model AP-7532-67040-WR"

It will work under generic 1 -g1 or the others upto g7
What is g1 etc in comparrison to when an AP is set to GB [ United Kingdom ]

Hi Phil,

the issue here is that there are different regulatory domains - FCC for US, ETSI for EU, ANATEL for Brazil and so on..

In order to follow these regulations we load different driver versions, resp. power tables, to each SKU. US for US and Canada following FCC, EU for Europe countries following ETSI and WR is ready for "rest of word" combining ANATEL etc.

When you use WR with EU country code it obviously does not work due missing power tables. If you use WR with matching country code, you will most probably end up with DFS - TPC incompliancy which might bring you into legal problems.
Such AP won't follow local radar detection / avoidance mechanism and will most probably interfere a lot with neighboring WiFi installations.

Not something we could ever recommend or support.

Regards,
Ondrej

Hello Phil,

The correct SKU for the UK is AP-7532-xxxxx-EU and not WR.

Per the PMB:

AP-xxxx-xxxxx-EU:

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, French Guiana, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom

Due to regulatory restrictions and requirement, you should not be using an AP in a country it is not designated for

To be in compliance with you local regulations, only set the Country Code that matches your region.

Do not utilize the GENERIC X. It may work, but the resultant allowed power and channels may put you in violation of your GB regulations
