    You've got your channel set on a dfs channel.

    when you change the ssid, make sure to have the 5ghz channel set on a non-dfs channel. 

    • It will not let me do that as you can see from image if i am in the right part

        what router do you have? 

        You didn't include much info in that picture. 

        depending on the router, you might need to change you "up to...." speed so you can use the standard 80hz wide channels.
