Wifi not working

[pjsf]

I had some 5 ghz wifi issues initially on both debian and manjaro, but then manjaro seemed to start working quite well. On checking the logs I noticed that the regulatory region was not being set on manjaro, when I fixed that the problems returned. checking the iw reg data on the pbp against the channels offered on the (at least six years old) router I noticed that there were only two channels in common between the two devices, when I changed the router from "auto" select to only work on one of the channels in common (36) all my problems went away. This is probably becuase the router uses the old 802.11 an standard whereas the pbp is 802.11 ac. So if anyone has these kind of issues, It might be worth looking at what channels your router is using.
