Hello Everyone,
The following 2.4GHz channels will no longer be used when set to auto. However, you will still have the option to select channels 1,6, and 11 but will need to be done manually.

Christian_R what is the idea behind this (strange) design change?
Does the same apply to EU versions for the channels 1, 7, and 13 then?

Why should the the channels 11, 12, and 13 (as per the release notes) be masked? Sorry, this makes zero sense to me. And the incomplete and changing information coming frok Netgear is concerning at.least. Christian_R

2nd question, I have this firmware & my router selected channel 1 in auto mode (there's a screenshot in the other thread).
