I don't think it's all wrong for the user. It's definitely not the right way to do it [tm], but it serves the purpose (getting the import approved). It's an interesting question if that firmware was made by TP-LINK or is a rootfs-mod made by someone else, paid by the importer. Fact is, that the original firmware enforces the local regulatory rules. And yes, it's a very conservative interpretation of the law, which e.g. mentions HT40 and coexistence mechanisms (clear channel assessment) only for 2.4GHz and doesn't state anything about HT40 in 5GHz -- so they assumed it's better not to use it. Similarly, as DFS is required, it's simpler to just assume channel-selection should always be automatic.
I also just realized that this firmware has been previously discussed in the forum https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=41071 Reading this (people blindly executing .EXE files from unknown sources in Windows) makes me want to take this serious (i.e. make sure also OpenWrt enforced regulatory rules, at least per default) :p _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
