WAP571 : wrong Country Code broadcasted

Hello,

I purchased a WAP571-E-K9 access point in France from a French retailer. It is running the latest available firmware : version 1.0.0.17.

The device is running fine but broadcasts a wrong Country Code : AT (for Austria) instead of FR (for France). This is a problem because the AP may be using wrong regulation rules and may lead the clients to do so. This may be illegal since the usage of WiFi frequencies is slightly different across different countries, even in Europe. I found no way to change that in the GUI.

Things are stranger when having a look to the configuration file (config.xml) saved to a PC:

...
<country-code-is-configurable>on</country-code-is-configurable>
<country>de</country>
...

The first line shows that the Country Code should be configurable and the second one that the broadcasted Country Code should be DE (for Germany) and this is not the case.

Of course, I have already tried to hard reset the device but without any success.

So, please, is there any way to fix this problem or will it be fixed in a future firmware release?

Best regards.
