M1 Can't change WiFi Channels

Hi All,

 

I just setup a new M1 and the interface will allow me to select a new WiFi channel (2.4Ghz) but I cannot "APPLY" it.  The button turns red and will not me click it.  It will only allow it to remain on the "AUTO" setting in both 2.4 and 5Ghz. Am I missing something here?

 

Also, is there a way to diable the automatic firmware updates?

 

Thanks for the help.

    Same here. I'm not able to apply changes to the channel selection. I was told there is no way to disable automatic firmware updates.

      Figured it out: To change change channel both main (2.4G) and secondary (5G) need to changed from auto. Worked from the iOS App but not from either Chrome or Edge browsers....
