STATUS_NDIS_DOT11_AP_CHANNEL_CURRENTLY_NOT_AVAILABLE
The requested AP channel is temporarily unavailable
STATUS_NDIS_DOT11_AP_CHANNEL_CURRENTLY_NOT_AVAILABLE is a Native 802.11 access-point-mode status. It indicates a temporary channel availability problem, not a permanent regulatory prohibition. The radio may be busy, a channel availability check may still be running, another role may already occupy the channel, or the current regulatory/domain information may not yet allow that channel.
For diagnostics, record both requested channel and current operation mode. A channel can be allowed in principle but unavailable while the adapter is scanning, associated as a station, changing country information, or waiting for DFS-related channel availability.
Evidence that narrows it
- Capture requested band, channel, operation mode, and current connection/AP role.
- Check country or regulatory-domain information visible to the WLAN stack.
- Compare with
STATUS_NDIS_DOT11_AP_CHANNEL_NOT_ALLOWED, which indicates a regulatory prohibition rather than a temporary state.
