What are you using for wifi scanning?
Got a screen snip?
What do the actual devices connected to it show when you pull up their wifi specifics?
I am using macbook wireless diagnostics to scan wifi.
The wifi channel shows channel 149 when macbook connects to the 5GHz wifi.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
- 1.0.3.96
Factory reset done.
I prefer not to factory reset in the future because that will erase my parental control user profiles.Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
