Hi all,
I was wondering if there is anyone on the list that I can talk to about Telstra
customer router wifi configs that are violating ACMA rules.
We see lots of Telstra supplied routers that select the *outdoor only* 5.8 GHz
spectrum for their 5 GHz WiFi. This interferes with real outdoor links, and
unless the router is mounted on a roof it would be in violation of ACMA rules.
I’m hoping to get in touch with someone suitable in the team that manages these
to get an update done to correctly limit these devices to the indoor spectrum
only.
I’ve included an example scan from a Mikrotik link of ours that had started
playing up due to interference below. It shows a Telstra router broadcasting on
5805 MHz running with an 80 MHz bandwidth (eeeC) and on single chain instead of
dual chain so that it can bump up it’s output power even higher. In this case
it only leaves a single 20 MHz channel, or potentially 30 MHz with certain
radios, at the top for anyone else.
