Changing RT-AC68U wireless regulatory domain

[angelsevov]

hi guys, how can i change my wireless regulatory domain to US?
i used these command on my rt-n66u before

nvram set pci/1/1/ccode=US
nvram set pci/2/1/ccode=US
nvram set wl0_country_code=US
nvram set wl1_country_code=US
nvram set regulation_domain=US
nvram set regulation_domain_5G=US

but just two of them works on rt-n68u

nvram set wl0_country_code=US
nvram set wl1_country_code=US

i dont understand why ASUS is not allowing us to use higher channels than 48, i mean channels 52,56,60,64, 100,104,108 ect.. cause almost all other brand routers in here sweden is alowing to use DFS channels...

Legally, you can only use the DFS channels if your router actually implements DFS - this is something that Asus has been promising to implement recently.

No whether other manufacturers did implement DFS already or are ignoring local regulations - I have no clue.

Is there any update on this? Has ASUS implemented DFS?

At least for the RT-N66U the DFS channels appeared for me (in the Netherlands/Europe) with firmware 3.0.0.4.376.3602 (November 2014):

The DFS channels 120, 124 and 128 are left out (I suppose because these require much longer waiting time and will be really troublesome to use).
DFS still can be troublesome if the router believes to have detected a radar or else, drops the channel and applies the waiting time.
