Model: EAP787  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.13

Hi all, 

 

I assumed that the WiFi Regulatory Domain for my EAP Access Points would follow the country setting for the site, but that seems not to be the case. Is that expected behaviour - is there another setting somewhere I should be addressing?

 

I have new EAP 787's on latest Released (not Beta) firmware 1.1.3, and an OC200 on the latest Beta 1.38.7 (20251220 Rel 69979). The site itself is set to United Kingdom, but when I check the connection details on a connected device it reports the Regulatory Domain as DE. My concern is that Germany is much more restricted than the UK, particularly on the 6GHz band, but also on 5GHz and I fear I am not optimising/getting everything I can from my new AP's.

 

I did not notice if this was the case with the EAP 610's they replaced - to be honest, with no 6GHz in particular, it would have been much less of a consideration. 

 

Thanks.

Hi  @Landfall2624 

 

Thank you for reaching out about wireless regulatory compliance and performance in different regions.

TP-Link is fully committed to product quality and regulatory compliance. We diligently adhere to relevant industry standards, laws, and regulations across the regions where our products are sold. This is validated by numerous certifications from leading third-party organizations for international standards compliance, including the UKCA Marking, demonstrating our commitment to the UK market.

 

Looking ahead, we are exploring the feasibility of adding a user-configurable country option for our EAP devices. This feature is currently under evaluation by our development team for possible implementation. Firmware and Feature updates are conducted regularly, so please continue to check your product's firmware page for the latest updates available. 

 

Thanks for your understanding.

Does no-one have a view on Reg Domain for wireless? Are all EU devices set to DE, regardless of where they are deployed and the site settings?

Hoping for some guidance from the TPLink team - is this just a reporting issue, or are my AP's actually configured for DE Reg domain, rather than GB/UK as per the site settings?

  @Vincent-TP Thank you. Just to clarify, at this present time it is expected that my regulatory Domain would be set as DE even though I am in the UK per the site settings? If that is expected, then all OK. Thanks.

Hi  @Landfall2624 

 

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, that's as expected. 

The site settings for the country won't change the devices' country codes. It's more to configure the time zone for the controller.

Seems that regulatory adherance also enforces country specific firmware updates. Since I've liked Omada and appreciate their regular updates to SDN and equipment, my challenge is stale firmware in the CAnadian market which can be many versions behind or even abandoned. I'd sure prefer to commission a new WiFi distribution system as US to have access to the latest firmware! Radio wise, the two are harmonized, except for a couple finer points at 6 GHz. I suspect there must be a steering mechanism at work here. Suspecting all firmware is generic, and then gets slotted into a country specific firmware stream upon first turn up?

  @Vincent-TP Please allow us to specify the correct Regulatory Domain for our deployed Omada devices.

Thank you!
