Hello,

How can I enable country code CH?

Default firmware is locked to US regulatory domain and you can’t just change the country code. You will need WorldWide radio firmware to do so. Please follow Regulatory domains | ConnectCore 6UL

It seems like setting the country code to CH is causing WLAN issues, possibly due to channel configuration. To enable the country code CH, you can try the following steps:

  1. Check Hardware Compatibility: Ensure that your WLAN hardware supports the CH (Switzerland) country code.
  2. Edit WLAN Configuration: Modify your WLAN configuration to set the country code to CH. You might need to access your router or WLAN settings to make this change.
  3. Reboot Router: After making the changes, it’s often a good idea to reboot your router to apply the new settings.
