MikroTik security findings, explained
Every finding the audit can report has its own page: what it means, why it matters, what it looks like in Winbox, and the exact RouterOS commands that fix it. Written for people who run a MikroTik router, not only for security specialists.
WiFi channel not allowed for your country or installation type
One of your access points is fixed to a channel that is not permitted where the router operates — forbidden outright, limited to indoor use, or requiring radar detection. Letting the radio pick a channel under the correct country setting is usually the fix.
WiFi country is set to a different country than where the device operates
The country setting tells the radio which channels and power levels are legal. When it names a different country from the one the router is in, the radio may transmit where it must not — which is illegal and can interfere with weather radar.
WiFi country is not set
A wireless interface on your router has no country configured, so the radio uses generic power and channel limits instead of the ones that apply where it is installed. That can mean transmitting outside local rules, or missing channels you may use.
WiFi radio in "superchannel" mode: regulatory limits switched off
A wireless interface is set to frequency-mode=superchannel, which lets the radio use any frequency and power the hardware supports regardless of your country's rules. Outside a licensed or lab setting this is not legal operation.
