I would like to know why when i have my country code selected as NZ i still dont have access to all the NZ 5GHz channels on the radio.
It seems as if the AP follows the European set of channels for the radio
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels#5.C2.A0GHz_.28802.11a.2Fh.2Fj.2Fn.2Fac.29.5B17.5D
where as there are a lot of other countries that allow use use of other channels ie channel 42 for instance.
Attached is a screen shot of my access point, it is set to New Zealand as its country code and those are the only chanels avaliable.
Also attached is a PDF from the NZ regulatory authority for the use of the radio spectrum and shows all the channels that they allow.
IMO this is something that needs to be updated in future firmware updates for the device.
