Limit my Deco W3600 to work in 5Ghz band 4 only
Hello TP-Link!
First of all this is my first experience of mesh wifi network and it is going great so far.
I got 3x Deco W3600 from my brother in US that works great, only issue I am facing is 5Ghz band selection. As I am in Pakistan so we only have band 4 in 5Ghz.
Please help me to select or limit my deco to band 4 only for 5Ghz.
Please note my deco model is W3600. I just choose x20 because I was unable to find my model in the list.
I will be very thankful for any help.

Hi, welcome to the community.
If only band 4 is allowed in Pakistan, the locally sold products would prefer band 4 as well.
However, for the Deco W3600, designed primarily for US Walmart, the 5GHz Wi-Fi would prioritize band 1 first, as it is one of the most commonly used 5GHz channels in the US.
There hasn't been a beta firmware for Deco W3600 which allows to re-selecting the default 5GHz band since the Band selection automatically follows up with the region code embedded into the hardware. In this way, I'm afraid you might need to purchase a new Deco unit directly from the local market.
Thank you very much and best regards.

Thank you very much for the response.
I got your point, one more thing I have also got 2 Deco x20 which are also limited to band 1. Can you provide me beta firmware for x20 for band 4 only ?
Deco HW version 2.6
And for future, is it not better, instead of region locking a Deco give us region or country selection option during setup process of Deco and bands should be adjust automatically so no one face this issue anymore. What do you say ?

Hi, Did you purchase the Deco X20_V2.6 in Pakistan?
I often heard that the 5GHz band only uses band 4 in Bangladesh so the Deco products, sold in Bangladesh are all customized. But I didn't recall engineers mentioned the same in Pakistan. I didn't find any information online that mentioned that only band 4 is allowed in Pakistan either.
Do you have any online links or documents about the local wireless regulation?
I'm not sure whether"instead of region locking a Deco gives us region or country selection option during setup process of Deco" complies with import and export regulations or not, but I will record it as a feature request.
Thank you very much and best regards.

Yes, I purchased it from a seller on Daraz store (online).
Actually here is Pakistan new android devices do support band 1 but normally most android devices only support band 4.
This is the latest available document, according to this document Pakistan do support band 1, band 2, band 3 and band 4.
