WAC124 access point, Europe area, no channel 1 @ 2.4 GHz
As subject really ... I have three of these access points to provide good coverage over my house, garden and worksop. The placements that I have used give me good signal streangth in all the areas I ...
I don't have that device to test with or I'd try myself. (plus ours get region locked) Just makes me curious if its a EU thing with the 20/40hz wide option since it works fine when set to the NA region.
If you set your 2.4ghz speeds for "up to 145mbps" it should drop it to 20hz wide. The up to 300mbps is the 40hz wide.
If you set it to just 20hz, does it enable the lower channels?
the EU region could be different in the channels enabled with using 20/40hz.
As I said there isn't an explicit option to control the channel width :(

Thanks !. That's the solution. I hadn't realised that the speed setting would have that effect.
I've cut the speed down to 145 mbps, and now I get a full list of channels !
