+ | ==== 4. Temporary Method: Using iw (for Testing) ==== | ||
+ | This is the quickest way to change the country code. It's perfect for testing if a specific setting resolves your issue, **but the change will be lost after you reboot the device.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Set the Country Code === | ||
+ | Open a terminal and run the iw reg set command with the two-letter ISO country code. For example, to set the country to Italy (IT): | ||
+ | ``` | ||
+ | sudo iw reg set IT | ||
+ | ``` | ||
+ | Verify the Change | ||
+ | You can immediately check if the setting was applied using the iw reg get command: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ``` | ||
+ | sudo iw list | grep MHz | ||
+ | ``` | ||
+ | The output should show the frequency those are allowed in the set country. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If this temporary setting fixes your Wi-Fi problem, you should proceed to the permanent method below. | ||
