WiFi Channel 13

1st Official Post

    How do I enable my LibreELEC setup access to WiFi connections running on channel 13?

    I have found how to enable it with the command "raspi-config" but this does not run on LibreELEC

    Any help much appreciated as my home WiFi is set to channel 13 and I do not have the login details to change this on the router itself

    ???

    We only allow connecting to advertised SSID's

    if you want to connect to a network with a hidden SSID you would have to do so from the command line.

    The SSID is not hidden. It is easily visible by any device which can see channel 13. I have connected to it with Raspbian but LibreELEC does not see WiFI channels 12 or 13 by default

    Have a look here,

    Wireless network configuration - ArchWiki

    you might have to do something like

    Code
    echo "options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=DE" > /etc/modprobe.d/cfg80211.conf


    (or another relevent domain code)
    then reboot

    Tried that

    Didn't work
    [hr]
    Partial success

    Using the command "iw reg set GB" allows my Pi to see my WiFi network

    Next problem is when I reboot the region is reset to "00" which is the world default

    How do I permanently assign the region to "GB"?
    [hr]
    All fixed

    Using nano to check the contents of the cfg80211.conf file showed that the word options was missing from the front of the line of text

    I added that in nano and saved the file, rebooted and the Pi connected straight up to the WiFi and I could SSH straight into it

    I'm a little surprised that this isn't a bigger problem but it has now been resolved

    Thank you lrusak for your help

    Channel 12-13 are not used in the US. Maybe you just need to change your location in Kodi.

    Settings > Interface settings > Regional in Kodi 17.
    System > Settings > Appearance > International in Kodi 16.1.

    Thank you guys! :heart:

    WiFi Channel 13 on a Raspberry Pi 3 & LibreELEC 7.0.3 is working:

    Code
    mount /flash -o remount,rw
echo "options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=DE" > /etc/modprobe.d/cfg80211.conf
reboot

    Hello

    I try this method above, work perfectly but (yes but ;)) if i create this file in libreelec 8.01, all the text in the default skin dissapear, same if i install the confluence skin.

    So i delete the file and all came back ok, except the possibility to use wifi channel 13.
