No 5ghz SSID when setting 160mhz channel - RAX50v2

Question

Just opened the box and setup&nbsp;RAX50v2&nbsp; with&nbsp;Firmware Version V1.1.3.18_2.1.14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On setup no 5Ghz wifi was showing up.&nbsp; I changed the channel size down to 80mhz and it works like a charm.&nbsp; Back to 160mhz, no 5Ghz SSID.&nbsp;Is this the expected behavior if I'm near radar (I live right near an airport in the USA), or is the router defective?&nbsp;&nbsp;

Most likely a radar issue. The router constantly scans for it when using a DFS channel

Try changing the channel to the lower 5ghz channels when you have it set to 160hz. See if that helps.&nbsp;
Are you using smart connect.&nbsp;

Not using smart connect.&nbsp;I moved it all the way down to channel 36, no change in behavior.
