Yes it’s time to start with this farce. I was reading [Flint 4 with Elan connect + inter net radio - #3 by miker](https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/flint-4-with-elan-connect-inter-net-radio/70908/3) and discovered that UK units ship with the WiFi country code set to DE. Anyways this should be easy to set in the Gl-iNet admin console but I think Mediatek are making it harder to set currently because I didn’t find the UI setting till after running the commands. I ran the below from a SSH session to my Flint 4 ```auto uci set wireless.MT7990_1_1.country='GB' uci set wireless.MT7990_1_1.rd_region='GB' uci set wireless.MT7990_1_2.country='GB' uci set wireless.MT7990_1_2.rd_region='GB' uci set wireless.MT7990_1_3.country='GB' uci set wireless.MT7990_1_3.rd_region='GB' uci commit wireless wifi reload ``` When I went to verify this in Luci using the MTK tools I saw there is no UK country code option and it’s fallen back to the US country code. ![image](https://forum-static.gl-inet.com/original/3X/5/8/58f65e548f27acf636d50a95ebebf61d55e2ad69.png) Can we please have the UK regulatory values added along with the UK country code? ---

Hi, Please check here: > [@Flint 4 - WiFi localisation issue?](https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/flint-4-wifi-localisation-issue/70882): > > Hi, Been setting up my Flint 4 over the last 24hrs. So far so good, performs fantastic. Connecting 30 odd devices around my house. However i hit a brick wall with one device: My boiler! It’s a Viessmann 100-W. No matter what i did, i couldn’t get it to connect to my WiFi. Bare in mind i came from a Flint 2 \> Flint 3 \> Flint 4, and haven’t had an issue before. Anyway, after checking all the obvious, it turns out that the country code for wifi was defaulting to DE, and I’m in the UK. Changed thi… I think in your case it is probably not visible in the luci app, but by using the iw command I see it is set with your method inside the wireless config. Can you confirm if the channels are actually valid for GB ? ---

Why is it not part of the initial router setup in the GUI to select the country? This should have been implemented years ago. How many Gl-iNet users are running their routers with the incorrect country selected? I’m betting a lot! ---

Same with the Flint 3, mine was showing as DE, had to manually change mine as well. ---

@will Is there a way for Flint 4, to change the country code to Panama to increase the WiFi output? This was possible with the MT6000 alias Flint 2. ---

Hi 🙂 AI said something a bit different: ```auto uci set wireless.MT7990_1_1.rd_region='CE' uci set wireless.MT7990_1_2.rd_region='CE' uci set wireless.MT7990_1_3.rd_region='CE' uci set wireless.MT7990_1_1.country='GB' uci set wireless.MT7990_1_2.country='GB' uci set wireless.MT7990_1_3.country='GB' uci commit wireless wifi reload ``` > Yes, you should change `rd_region` to **CE** when setting the country code to the UK (`GB`). > > On OpenWrt devices using MediaTek proprietary drivers (such as the MT7990 driver), the ISO country code and the driver-level regulatory parameters work together: > > - **`rd_region` (Radar Detection Region):** Controls DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) radar signatures and compliance algorithms. Leaving this set to `FCC` causes the driver to use US radar detection patterns instead of the ETSI/CE rules required in the UK and Europe. > > - **`region` / `aregion` (Channel Maps):** Dictates allowable channel ranges (e.g., enabling channels 12 and 13 on 2.4 GHz and applying ETSI 5 GHz / 6 GHz channel masks). > > - **Driver Enum Values:** MediaTek drivers hardcode radar pattern algorithms into four primary categories: `CE` (ETSI/Europe), `FCC` (North America), `MKK` (Japan), and `NCC` (Taiwan). There is no separate `GB` code for `rd_region`. > > - **Regulatory Compliance:** The UK spectrum regulator (Ofcom) mandates ETSI standards (specifically **EN 301 893** for 5 GHz DFS radar signatures and **EN 303 687** for 6 GHz). In MediaTek driver firmware, all ETSI radar pattern detection is compiled under the `CE` flag. > > - **Separation of Duties:** > > Setting **`rd_region='CE'`** alongside **`country='GB'`** is 100% the correct combination for the UK. ---

Hi, Thank you for sharing your testing and feedback. The related country/region options in LuCI are still being adapted and improved, so it will take some more time to complete. Regarding the Region setting, it is not related to Wi-Fi transmit power and has little practical impact. The available values are `CE` , `FCC` , and `JAP` , and you may select the corresponding region as needed. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
