Nighthawk MR80 5Ghz Channels
Hello, I am trying to move my 5Ghz band to a higher channel, as my current band #44 is overpopulated. But the recommended high channels are not available on MR80 - the only pull-down choices are 36...

Does anything show up if you disable smart connect or set the MR for separate SSID names for each radio?
Not sure if Higher channels is possible since higher channels maybe used for the wireless back haul.
So channesl 36, 40, and 48 are all busy?
