Wi-fi channels performance

After installing firmware 2.5.1.32, I chose channel 11 but when I use a bandwidth monitor it shows me on channel 11 but the channel graph shows me on 9 with a frequency footprint from channel 5 to 13, whats happening? Its not causing any issues, but I hope I'm not causing any interference on other channels.

    What app are you looking at? 

     

    What does your Advanced Tab on the RBRs web page look like? 

    It should appear as 11(P)+#(S) # being maybe 7 or 9

      Wifiman test results show the same thing.
