Hi, to change the language to English, you have to update the firmware to the global version.
Doesn't work on xiaomi be3600 as it unfortunately
has only CN region in the firmware.
For those who cannot set the country to CN, TW, or HK, the best option might be South Korea (KR).
Additionally, from my experience, when you reset your router, if your first attempt is to set it to CN, TW, or HK, the router will change the country even if it shows an "invalid token" message. I changed mine to KR, and now I'm unable to change it back to CN, even though I was using CN before I had to reset my router.
Instead of using set_country_code use this link:
You are not limited to country list.

Thanks, worked on my ax3600! Couldnt pair mi home app set to mainland before that (and router is not available in germany)

Glad to hear it worked! I haven't tried using the Mi Home app myself; I've been using the Mi WiFi app, but honestly, it feels a bit like trash. I prefer controlling through browser directly, it gives more control.

If this url belongs to an extension, make sure it is properly installed.
If the extension was recently installed, try removing the /tmp/luci-indexcache file.
Same issue here, anyone got a solution if neither set_country_code or set_location works?
Works on my Mi Router 4a Global (not gigabit)
Thx

I got the same issue. Tried every method so far, i have an AX9000
Please note that some of these APIs are POST apis meaning you have to either use a tool like POSTMAN or write an actual code script to make these work. I couldnt get the actual complete channel list by changing the country but i was able to manually hard set the channel to 157 by using this API.
the important value below is channel2-157
hope this helps atleast somebody. I was trying to resolve this since 1 whole day until it hit me that not all api requests work on simple browsers.
Additionally, you can chech which apis are used by opening up developer tools and checking the network tab and then clicking on a button. from there you can take the api and payload format and try it yourself the way you would like.
I was able to unlock upper channels (149 and above) of 5GHz WiFi on Ax3000. For me what I did was
- Turned off smart connect i.e. separated 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands
- First changed the location** and country code*** of satellite router then primary router to CN.
- Changed the 5GHz bandwidth to 80MHz.
** http://192.168.31.1/cgi-bin/luci/;stok=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/api/xqsystem/set_location?location=CN
*** http://192.168.31.1/cgi-bin/luci/;stok=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/api/xqsystem/set_country_code?country=CN
If you change the primary router first it will break the mesh network and you have to reset it. Also keep the wireless channel to auto because dropdown will not show the extended channels. I initalized the router with South Korea region and after changing the location to CN I changed the time zone of primaray router to Korea again as satellite/mesh router timezone was not changed with location change
For those who has {"msg":"操作失败","code":1606} because CountryCode hardcode within bdata partition
You can change Country Code by editing bdata mtd partition then write back to device.
Here 's some steps:
1.Get bdata partition to edit. Require ssh enabled.
- List all mtd partition to find which is bdata, in my case bdata is mtd15
#cat /proc/mtd - Get bdata
#nanddump -f /tmp/bdata.bin /dev/mtd15 - Download bdata.bin to PC to edit with WinSCP or something like that.
2.Edit countrycode. Need hex editor, python 3 and some python script in https://github.com/odedlaz/ax3600-files/tree/master/scripts
- Open bdata.bin in Hex Editor, replace old Country code whith new one then save the file.
- Calculate CRC32 of new file with crc32.py from above github
python C:\crc32.py "C:\Users\z**\Desktop\bdata.bin"
new: 0xc71829ed
original: 0x20dddf5c
- Edit bdata first 4 offset with new CRC32 checksum
- Enable write permission on bdata partition. Default is readonly. SSH to Router
- Run command to some write magic bytes to crash partition that make bdata writeable
zz=$(dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=2 2>/dev/null) ; printf '\xA5\x5A%c%c' $zz $zz | mtd write - crash - Reboot device
Reboot - I use WinsSCP uploading edited bdada.bin to /tmp/
- Write new bdata to NAND
mtd write /tmp/bdata.bin bdata - Reboot device
Reboot
- The result
- DFS channel(100-144) still not working as expected. wifi 5ghz disappeared. Maybe my device is for China only so Xiaomi blocking those channel from firmware that nothing i can do :/
I have the CN/TW/HK version, otherwise I need the global version, can you share your global version of Firmware with me? I will also share my Chinese version
