WiFi radio configuration settings

[CustomX]

Hi,

Is it possible to add a feature to disable certain channels that can be used? I can’t seem to find anything that would show it is already possible?

For example on 2.4GHz you only want to select 1-6-11 or depending on the situation, might need to disable channels because of interference.

On 5GHz I want to be able to disable UNII3 and weather radar channels.

Kind regards,

Tom

Hello,

If you want the system to automatically select only between specific channels (e.g., 1, 6, and 11), this can be done through the CLI using UCI commands, as described in a similar topic here:

Rutx11 Wi-Fi Channels scanning

Hello, The first thing I would recommend is updating your RutOS firmware to the latest version – 7.12.3, as there were many improvements and fixes implemented from 7.11. Regarding the issue you’re facing, it is possible that your Android tablet does not support higher-frequency 5 GHz channels (e.g., 149-161), which might explain the connectivity issue when the router selects those channels automatically. If you prefer to keep Auto channel selection but limit the channel range to a specific ra…

For example, to allow only channels 1, 6, and 11 on the 2.4 GHz radio, you can use:

uci set wireless.radio0.channels='1,6,11'
uci commit wireless
/etc/init.d/network restart

You can apply the same approach for your 5 GHz radio by listing only the desired channels or range to be available.

Hi Martynas,

I should add I am running 7.17.5 (the stable base firmware).
Is this something that will become available in the firmware or will it remain in CLI? How will the changes handle a firmware upgrade? Will they be overwritten?

Hello,

At the moment, this functionality will remain available only via CLI. If you perform a firmware upgrade with “Keep settings” enabled, your configured radio channel settings won’t be overwritten.

Best regards,
