cAP AC limited to channel 36 only in standalone mode?

I have worked on caps-man for some time now.

Today I needed to take my home wireless AP out as it’s needed for a commercial install.

Still had a cAP AC in my trunk. So it seemed a good time to put it back online.

Unit was defaulted and rather than. Setup cap… I set it up as an Access Point.

Went into wlan1 and set the channel to 1 using 20Mhz and no extension channel.

Went to wlan2 and I can’t see 5745 as an option.

I wanted to set the cAP AC to use 149 at 80 MHz. In my caps-man config I have all the channels saved and can select it in a drop down.

In standalone mode… It looks like the upper frequency is not an option?

Country set ? Operation mode is “indoor” or “any” ?

United States 3
Indoor

We’ll check that out… Once you change indoor to any, you get the upper frequencies.

You’re welcome. Actually the MKT terminology is very misleading here.
There are frequencies that only can be used “indoor” (by FCC , ETSI regulation etc)
There are frequencies that are allowed to be used “outdoor” (by FCC , ETSI regulation etc) [there is no “only” in this statement]

MKT:
indoor= use only indoor frequencies
outdoor= use only outdoor frequencies
any= use both

Legal interpretation
outdoor = do not use frequencies that are indoor only (because they cause problems for emergency services and other priority owning groups when used outdoor)
indoor= use any frequency as it is contained indoors

In Europe (etsi) many have a poor wifi experience indoors, because they set the MKT on “indoor”. Missing out the less used and 7 dBm stronger outdoor frequencies.
(There is no TXpower limit difference in ‘united states3’ between indoor and outdoor)
