This may be infeasible but maybe we could advocate that power and frequency restrictions be locked down at the hardware level and not firmware? I don't really know anything about anything but I'd assume something like that is possible while probably cost prohibitive to vendors. I'd be willing to pay extra for "open (locked down)" hardware.

Hi,

Don't complain to the vendor. Write a letter to the FCC. Encourage
everyone you know to write letters to the FCC.

It's not up to tplink/dlink/ubiquiti/etc.

Yeah I see that now. There seems to be no wiggle room here. They must prevent third party firmwares using strong security. The best we can hope for is to jailbreak.

Or we can spend the next couple of years of our lives attempting to get the FCC to change their regulations.

Router smuggling operation it is then.
