πŸ‘‘ Constants πŸ‘‘

bestie these are the constants, and yes every single one matters, don't skip πŸ”₯

  • REG_CAPA_V5_160MHZ_ALLOWED β€” 11ac channel with a width of 160Mhz is allowed for this regulatory domain (valid only in 5Ghz). big channel energy fr fr ✨
  • REG_CAPA_V5_80MHZ_ALLOWED β€” 11ac channel with a width of 80Mhz is allowed for this regulatory domain (valid only in 5Ghz). 80 is still cute, we love her 🫢
  • REG_CAPA_V5_MCS_12_ALLOWED β€” 11ac with MCS 12 is allowed. she said yes to MCS 12 πŸ’–
  • REG_CAPA_V5_MCS_13_ALLOWED β€” 11ac with MCS 13 is allowed. and MCS 13 too, iconic πŸ‘‘
  • REG_CAPA_V5_11BE_DISABLED β€” 11be is forbidden for this regulatory domain. 🚫 not me getting blocked from 11be 😭
  • REG_CAPA_V5_11AX_DISABLED β€” 11ax is forbidden for this regulatory domain. yeah 11ax is not invited to this party either πŸ’€
  • REG_CAPA_V5_320MHZ_ALLOWED β€” 11be channel with a width of 320Mhz is allowed for this regulatory domain (valid only in 5GHz). 320Mhz??? obsessed, she ate 🌈⭐
  • REG_CAPA_V5_11BN_DISABLED β€” UHR is not allowed for this regulatory domain. UHR sweetie i'm so sorry, not today πŸ™ˆ
lowkey reminder: the 160Mhz and 80Mhz ones are valid only in 5Ghz, and the 320Mhz one is valid only in 5GHz. keep that straight bestie, iykyk πŸ’œ
