Voxel [RBR50] Any way to use 149 for 5 GHz?

Any way to force RBK50 to 5 GHz channels 100+?

Where I live they introduced new WiFi regulations recently making it not possible to connect to WiFi networks using 5 GHz channels under 100. That means I can’t use any of the 5 GHz channels Orbi RBK50 offers anymore. I am being limited to 2.4 GHz, in 2020 on a 500 Mbps internet connection.

Is there any way to force something like 149 for 5 GHz even if it means I have to disable the WiFi backhaul? I have them connected by Ethernet anyways.

Is there an updated firmware that respects that new change for your country?

Have you asked the manufacturer about it?

Isn't it as simple as selecting US as country to unlock the higher channels?

Worked for me on my R7800
