Dear all,
I?m trying to get the 7260 to act as an AP on the 5G band. Unfortunately it seems to be impossible due to the ?no IR? reg domain restriction done by the Intel firmware internally (this is what I?ve googled so far..).
Could someone explain to me the technical background of this. As far as I understood the regulation if DFS and TPC are used, most of the 5G channels are allowed. Did I miss something? What?s the point of restricting the IR then?
And finally: Is there a way to get it work? Some other PCI-E chip? ath10k?
All the best,
Efill

This is not true world wide. With the devices currently available, you
can't have IR in 5GHz.

Let me clarify, with *Intel* devices currently available, you will not
be able to have IR in 5GHz.
