Issue with persistent settings - wl0_reg_mode=h or wl1_reg_mode=h

[ps7ch0]

Hi,

So in order to fix any issues with my Apple devices I would like to set the followings settings on AC3200 with ASUSwrt- Merlin 380.59 Alpha2:

nvram set wl_reg_mode=h
nvram set wl0_reg_mode=h
nvram set wl1_reg_mode=h
nvram commit
reboot

But unfortunately after a reboot:

• wl_reg_mode is correct wl_reg_mode=h
• wl0 & wl1_reg_mode are still =off.

Some ideas or clues to fix that?
Thanks.

You can't. The configuration of that setting was moved to closed source code, which is why I also removed it from the webui.

OK Thanks. So I well understood the ony way to get reg_mode=h for 5ghz it's to set manually after each reboot... or to put in a script. Right?

Setting it manually won't do much on its own, as the wireless driver is already configured. Restarting the wireless interfaces might apply them, or they might still revert back to the bootloader values - hard to tell without being able to look at the code.

I tried but unsuccessful... what a pity!

admin@RT-AC3200-9320:/tmp/home/root# nvram get wl_reg_mode
h
admin@RT-AC3200-9320:/tmp/home/root# nvram get wl0_reg_mode
h
admin@RT-AC3200-9320:/tmp/home/root# nvram get wl1_reg_mode
h
admin@RT-AC3200-9320:/tmp/home/root# service restart_wireless
Done.
admin@RT-AC3200-9320:/tmp/home/root#
admin@RT-AC3200-9320:/tmp/home/root# nvram get wl_reg_mode
h
admin@RT-AC3200-9320:/tmp/home/root# nvram get wl0_reg_mode
off
admin@RT-AC3200-9320:/tmp/home/root# nvram get wl1_reg_mode
off

What issues are you having? I have an iPhone, an iPad Pro and a Macbook Pro and whilst I had issues on Merlin's latest stable release, the latest Asus beta has been problem free, I believe 380.59 Alpha2 is based on the same code.
