Wireless Country: Saudi Arabia (routerOS 4.17)

Mon Jan 23, 2012 1:33 pm

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to set up a wireless link compliant to Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, but every time a set the Country in wireless proprieties an error windows is displayed:
"Couldn't change interface <wlan1> - bad band and/or channel, see "wireless info" for supported channels". :shock:
Is there a problem with the wireless card?

Could someone please explain me?

Thanks...

What frequency you run on your link? I gues 5Ghz band, Saudi Arabia don't support the 5ghz band by regulatory driver. If u wanna use it, leave Country to no_country_set

Yes, 5Ghz... Do you know where I can find some documentation about Wireless Regularization on Saudi Arabia?

Thanks again...

Saudi Arabia permits WLAN services on 5GHz (Cisco claim on channels 100,104,108,112,116 132,136,140 149,153,157,161) subject to some conditions
See also http://www.volny.cz/horvitz/os-info/saudi.html and more importantly from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's National Frequency Plan itself....
http://www.citc.gov.sa/English/Rulesand ... 0E-NFP.pdf
See page 31 and 53.
See National Footnote 01 : "The following bands can also be used for Short Range Devices (SRD) that are subject to CITC conditions" "5470 – 5875 MHz"
See National Footnote 04 : "Usages of these Bands do not require special authorization by CITC" "5725-5875 MHz"
See National Footnote 05 : " This band is license exempted provided that transmitters comply with CITC Guidelines for such exemption. Otherwise relevant frequency assignments should be obtained" "5150-5250 MHz" "5250-5255 MHz" "5255-5350 MHz" and "5725-5830 MHz"
