Ex7500 no longer connects to 5.0
I have an EX7500 extender connected to an R7800 router over channels 116 on 5.0 GHz and 10 on 2.4 GHz, forwarding the 5.0 network on channel 36. I am located in Europe.
Last week, there was an automatic firmware update to 1.0.0.72 (I think from 1.0.0.62) and the extender no longer sees the router’s 5.0 network. In fact, in my building there are lots of 5.0 networks and when I try to configure it from scratch, it sees only 1. Previously it would see many of them.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I seem to have managed to work around this by changing the location setting of the extender to the US and connecting on channel 149.
