Hi noibla,
Welcome to the community! :smileyhappy:
Let us isolate the problem. You mentioned the term "manual setting," does it mean that you have a console access to the FVS318N and set wireless channel 6 via CLI?
I look forward to your response.

Hi DaneA,
The configuration is just set from the Web interface. Switching from Auto Channel to a specific channel selection.
Hi noibla,
Here are my follow-up questions:
a. Were you able to change to any channel just fine before?
b. Have you tried to use other browsers to access the web-GUI of the FVS318N then set the channel to 6 or any channel?
c. Did you try to reboot the FVS318N then check if the setting remains in channel 6?
I look forward to your response.

a. Were you able to change to any channel just fine before?
Have not changed this before. The WIreless bridge required a fixed channel and at reboot of the FVS318N, the FVS318N reassessed the Radio channel to be used on Auto setting.
b. Have you tried to use other browsers to access the web-GUI of the FVS318N then set the channel to 6 or any channel?
I use only one browser exclusively. Router responds after changing the channel "Operation Succeeded" but
c. Did you try to reboot the FVS318N then check if the setting remains in channel 6?
Yes and it did remain configured to the settign on channels 6, however the actual channel is 3 as highlighted in the original problem statement.
