Comment (by mi-la):
I found a temporary workaround thanks to the ticket #18211. It is possible
to edit regdb.txt and disable indoor channels completely.

Then I have:

I've also tried just to remove `DFS` from line `(5250 - 5350 @ 80), (100
mW), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS, AUTO-BW` but it stilled used indoor channels.
Still removing indoor channels is suitable when I need pure outdoor
connection until a proper solution is found.
