Research direction

Start from Network → wireless and reproduce the 5 GHz configuration with country code IN on the Xiaomi Mi Router 4A Gigabit Edition and the listed OpenWrt 24.10.1 target. Collect the requested debug information and compare the behavior with UK, US, JP, or driver-default settings; done means 5 GHz starts and applies the allowed range for India.
