MSIT Announcement No. 2026-9 (February 10, 2026) revised the power limits for 6 GHz indoor WLAN: Lower band (5925-6425 MHz): 1 W (30 dBm) EIRP, indoor Upper band (6425-7125 MHz): 500 mW (27 dBm) EIRP, indoor The previous entry used a single rule covering 5925-7125 MHz at 15 dBm, which does not reflect either the current lower or upper band limits. Split into two frequency ranges so that devices operating in the lower band can use the higher power limit. Add AUTO-BW to both ranges so the kernel knows they can be combined. MSIT Announcement No. 2024-22 (May 30, 2024) sets the maximum occupied bandwidth to 320 MHz for both indoor and VLP categories.
