RAX48 Missing channel 149 and above
Hi, I have a RAX48 in the US with Firmware Version V1.0.11.112_2.0.77. It is missing channel 149 and above with 5 GHz. How do I get it back? Thank you!
Are you using "up to 4800mbps" setting? If so, thats a 160hz wide channel.
because its such a wide channel, there's only 2 in the 5ghz spectrum. From channels 36-64 and from 100-128
to use the higher channels, you'd have to set it to "up to 2400mbps" which reduces the channel width to 80hz wide and then there's 6x channel ranges available.

what region is the router set in? (I know you're in NA but just verifying thats the region the router is set it)
What does it show when you try to change it?
It is set in North America. The field has been greyed out.
