Changing WiFi region

I have installed Arch using archinstall.

How can I change the WiFi region? It is currently set to the wrong country, and I figured that might be the issue as to why I am experiencing a bad WiFi connection.
I can't seem to find how to do it by searching, so I decided to post here.

Re: Changing WiFi region

Have you tried installing https://archlinux.org/packages/core/any/wireless-regdb/ and editing it for your country?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … ory_domain -- if that doesn't help maybe clarify your issues, and post

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f
sudo journalctl -b

Re: Changing WiFi region

I am experiencing slower then expected speeds with the WiFi card I am currently using, the Intel AX210. The WiFi region is set to DE, instead of SE.
Configuring wireless-regdb changed "global" when running

iw reg get

but not the adapter, phy0. That one still says DE. It also states "(self-managed)" next to the adapter.

Re: Changing WiFi region

Intel has forced automatic region detection now. I don't think it is possible to change the region manually anymore, at least not easily.

Re: Changing WiFi region

The WiFi region is set to DE, instead of SE.

https://european-union.europa.eu/princi … /sweden_en
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
That's the same region when it comes to radio regulations.

I figured that might be the issue as to why I am experiencing a bad WiFi connection

Or *might* be not.
