WNDR3700v1 (US) 5ghz Channels Not Right
Posted: Wed Jun 06, 2012 3:44 pm
I am having a problem accessing more than four 5ghz channels using Gargoyle 1.5.4. I am running a WNDR3700v1 router, bought and run in the US. However, it appears that Gargoyle is defaulting me to "World (00)" instead of US, and I cannot use any 5ghz channels over channel 48.
Note that with other firmwares (DD-WRT for one) I can access channels such as 165 but for whatever reason I cannot under Gargoyle (I prefer Gargoyle for stability and simplicity but need the higher channels for video streaming).
When I do a dmesg I am seeing this:

And due to the World (not US) choice I am seeing the following (notice that only the first four are usable):
Frequencies:
* 5180 MHz [36] (17.0 dBm)
* 5200 MHz [40] (17.0 dBm)
* 5220 MHz [44] (17.0 dBm)
* 5240 MHz [48] (17.0 dBm)
* 5260 MHz [52] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
* 5280 MHz [56] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
* 5300 MHz [60] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
* 5320 MHz [64] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
* 5500 MHz [100] (21.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
* 5520 MHz [104] (24.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
* 5540 MHz [108] (24.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
* 5560 MHz [112] (24.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
* 5580 MHz [116] (24.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
* 5600 MHz [120] (24.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
* 5620 MHz [124] (24.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
* 5640 MHz [128] (24.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
* 5660 MHz [132] (24.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
* 5680 MHz [136] (24.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)

* 5765 MHz [153] (24.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS)
* 5785 MHz [157] (24.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS)
* 5805 MHz [161] (24.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS)
* 5825 MHz [165] (24.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS)
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WL ... 2Fj.2Fn.29 I should have the following channels available legally:
36, 40, 44, 48, 149, 153, 157, 161, 165
however I am only able to use 36, 40, 44, and 48.
Any thoughts on how to fix this short of doing my own compilation?
