This part is not really a lab, but you should definitely do these steps!

RF Regulatory Domain

The WLAN Pi OS ships with no 'default RF regulatory domain'.

Note the warning message shown on the display.

As you are sitting here in Phoenix, let's apply the relevant regulatory domain. This will unlock the permitted channels and enforces limits and DFS rules defined by ETSI (or whichever regulatory body governing the alpha-2 country code you select).

Curious what channels are permitted? SSH into your unit and check the output of iw phy0 info and scroll up to the Frequencies section in each band to see which channels are permitted. Try iw phy0 info | less to paginate the output.

1. Using FPMS, click the joystick in any direction to open the menu. FPMS menus "scroll". To quickly select System, you can click the joystick up once: Menu > System > RF Domain

2. Select Set Domain CZ

This can be reconfigured any time you like!

Set the Timezone

• If the unit is connected to the Internet, you can update the timezone automatically by navigating through: System > Settings > Date & Time > Set Timezone > Auto

• If you do not have a connection to the Internet, you can update the timezone manually by navigating through: System > Settings > Date & Time > Set Timezone > Manual > Europe > Phoenix

Under the hood, chrony is used as the NTP client.
