Locale (country) change via GUI

I noticed that there is no option to change the locale of your router, depending on the country there are different standards for wifi transmission (assuming Gargoyle follows those) it would be important to be able to switch to your country.

This is in the pipeline but it is low priority.
You can set it manually via the command line.

Could you please share the command to run and command for whatever needs to be restarted for the setting to take hold?

Also a reboot wipes it to default correct?

uci set wireless.radioX.country=<your 2 digit country code>
uci commit wireless
wifi

If you have only 2.4ghz, just use “radio0”. If you have both 2.4 and 5ghz, run it twice with radio0 and radio1

The wifi command will restart the wifi and apply the settings.

A reboot will not remove the setting. Changing any settings on the Connection->Basic page might. Small changes shouldn’t but large changes will.
