regulatory domain setting automatically reset when reboot

[fallengt]

Hi,
I own a buffalo wzr-hp-ag300h high power router and flashed 1.5.9 firmware to it. the Dmesg gave me this:

The default country code is US and Txpower is limit at 13dBm ( not sure why... but with factory DD-wrt firmware it's ~20 dBm peak 27).
I can manually set regulatory to other country (using iw reg set) and Txpower=27 but everytime the router reboot, it changes back to default setting... Is there any way to overide EEPROM settings?

See http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/wireless

uci makes persistent changes. Find your specific wireless using uci show wireless

Code: Select all

uci set (whateveryourwirelessis).country=DE (or whatever country)
uci set (whateveryourwirelessis).txpower=27
uci commit

wifi (or reboot)

And it should survive reboots.

Ignore the "Not supported for the mac80211 type yet (supported in trunk)" next to country. Its been in trunk for some time (gargoyle uses OpenWrt in the r35000 region:

It worked. Thanks

1 more question, my router have 2x2 antenna which settings should I try?
Using uci wireless.radio0.rxantenna=2, uci wireless.radio0.txantenna=2 is the correct command? or rxantenna=1x2 txantenna=1x2 ?

[BashfulBladder]

Not having such a router, I imagine you address them:

Code: Select all

uci set wireless.radio0.rxantenna[0]=value
uci set wireless.radio0.txantenna[1]=value
uci commit

use 'uci show wireless' to check. Then enter 'wifi'.
