R7000 AC1900 Channel 0 on 5Ghz

Hello,
I'm having problems with my setting up my 5Ghz Wifi. No matter to what channel i change it's shows channel 0 at the home screen. If i change to up to 1300Mbps the channel changes to some Chinese symbols. 
I'm running V1.0.11.136_10.2.120 firmware.

Any ideas if is it fixable? Is it a hardware issue?

    Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

    What browser are you using? Try MS Edge, Firefox or Opera. 

    Be sure to clear out all browser caches before entering the routers web page. 

    Happens with Smart Connect enabled or disabled? 

    What region are you located?

      Hmm, haven't tried a factory reset. Will try as soon i'll get a moment. I'll post later the results.
      I'm using Opera by default, but using a clean MS Edge didn't helped either.
      Happens on both Smart connect disabled and enabled.
      I'm located in Europe.
