Understanding Regulatory Domains and IEEE 802.11d
The country code setting identifies the regulatory domain in which the access point operates.
The AX411 Access Point supports the IEEE 802.11d (world mode) standard by default. This standard causes the access point to broadcast the country it is operating in as part of its beacons and probe responses. This standard allows client stations to operate in any country without reconfiguration. For example, the wireless laptop belonging to a visitor from Europe can associate with an access point in the United States and automatically switch to the correct channel settings without the user reconfiguring the laptop settings.
You can disable the access point from broadcasting the country code in its beacons. However, this only applies to radios configured to operate in the g (2.4 GHz) band. For radios operating in the a (5 GHz) band, the access point software configures support for 802.11h. When 802.11h is supported, the country code information is broadcast in the beacons.
 | Note: On AX411 Access Points, the possible completions available for the configuring the country code displays the list of all the countries, and it is not based on the regulatory domain within which the access point is deployed. |
