Interesting, someone from Malaysia working to add those disabled channels into the AU firmware, after someone gained SSH access to the router. Gonna try them myself as well.

Finally got root access after enabled SSH for this router thanks to help from this forum

https://forum.lede-project.org/t/build-for-...-ac1200/2547/44

Now I can enable back Malaysia bands on AU firmware

What I did is I enabled SSH access by following the thread and then root access, make sure to turn off your firewall in case you're running Windows 10 otherwise it won't work. Afterwards you need to edit /etc/config/wireless, and change the two country options from 'DE' to 'MY', for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. In my case, I have to copy the original file to /tmp before editing it with the default SSH client and then copying it back since in netcat pressing down arrow doesn't seem possible to me with the current /bin/ash.

What I want to do next is try to enable 802.11r FT between these two routers but before that I need to find a way to replace wpad-mini with wpad on that router, as the default filesystem is mounted read-only so I couldn't use opkg to reinstall it.

Lastly, I bricked my router by running



to see if I could restore it to old TM firmware and after a reboot it's not booting up properly anymore. It seems like TFTP is not working for me, when I tried to boot it up all the light just flashes for a second then only the WPS LED lights up. I can go into the Web GUI which we normally get after a failed firmware update but it never goes pass 40%, either showing firmware upgrade failed or firmware not compatible. Anyone with similar experiences know how to fix it or will TM consider this as customer's fault?

Not really sure if it persists, haven't tried yet. Can't SSH into the router anymore. Tried nearly all firmware from TM and EU and non of them are working sadly. Now waiting for warranty claim from TM.

I did it via vim by connecting through an SSH client without root access, I'm using Bitvise personally, if I run vim directly through the netcat one then the arrow keys just won't work. I just ran wifi to reload the interface afterwards and the changes were applied and shown in web interface.

Anyway, just contacted TM for replacement, hopefully I won't get the trashcan.
