Actually it turns out it wasn't. I'm assuming regdomain.xml was
overwritten in an update.
Looks like it has been failing to set the regdomain to AU and defaulting
to US. I put your experimental regdomain back in a noticed that it will
only connect at 11ng. When putting the default on in it mostly connects
at 11ac but sometimes it only gets around 30mpbs and others around
300mbps. With your regdomain it gets around 80mbps.
I created my own regdomain.xml a while ago (with the help of an LLM)
that adds the 11ac to APAC2. This mostly connects via 11ac (sometimes
via 11ng) and gets over 300mbps on a speedtest when connected at 11ac. I
have just switched back over to this to resolve the speed issue.

It is however still showing US on the interface.
Oh. You are running with my experimental regdomain.xml? That
explains. Ok.
