wndr3400 ap channel limitations

[rhinterberg]

Using an App called wifi Analyzer, it tells me that ch. 14 is the best channel to use, also shows no one else is using that channel, but trying to assign ch 14 thru the geni the channel list only goes up to 11. Why can't I see channels 12,13 & 14 in the genie ? Is there a firmware upgrade that will allow me to use ch 14?

Channel 14 is not available for use anywhere in the world, except for Japan. Even in Japan, its use is subject to restrictions.

Thank you for the info, sucks that it's the strongest channel but unavailable, but so goes life in the cyber lane.
