RAX48 wifi channel changed
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/RAX48-wifi-channel-changed/m-p/2156255
I set the 5GHz channel to 36. After a month, I scan nearby wifi and found out my wifi is on channel 149.
I logged in to my router and it is still showing 5GHz on channel 36.
Can you explain what's happened? 149 is a congested channel in my area.

What are you using for wifi scanning?
Got a screen snip?
What do the actual devices connected to it show when you pull up their wifi specifics?

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

Factory reset done.
I prefer not to factory reset in the future because that will erase my parental control user profiles.

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Setting saved but not the parental control profiles. I have to reassign device to profile.
