Hi guys,
None of the settings from above worked on my ASUS ZenWiFi Pro ET12.
I am trying to enable the 6GHz channel but nothing seems to work.
nvram set location_code=#a nvram set 0:ccode=#a nvram set 0:regrev=0 nvram set 1:ccode=#a nvram set 1:regrev=0 nvram set 2:ccode=#a nvram set 2:regrev=0 nvram set territory_code=CN/02 nvram set wl_country_code=#a nvram set wl_reg_mode=h nvram set wl2_country_code=#a nvram set wl2_country_rev=0 nvram set wl2_reg_mode=h nvram set acs_unii4=1 nvram set wl_acs_excl_chans_dfs= nvram set wl_acs_excl_chans= nvram set wl2_acs_dfs=1 nvram set wl2_acs_excl_chans_base= nvram set wl2_acs_excl_chans=
Does anyone have any idea what else they may be locking on this router?
