Hi i need some help my router will not let me change the SSID name when i try all i get is what is in the image below thanks for help
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.
sorry i have the NightHawk X6 R8000
i dont know much still learning
what firmware is on it?
what region are you in?
Firmware VersionV1.0.4.76_10.1.82
Region :- Europe that it set to i live in UK
Your region has quite a bit of restrictions on 5ghz.

what happens if you set your "up to1300mbps" speed down?
Is there a UK region in the region settings? (north america ones are locked down so I can't check)
If so, the UK 5ghz is quite higher than the EU requirements. Better range/penetration from 5ghz with more power.
it is already set to up to 1300
and no option from UK
I understand its already set to up to 1300.
I'm saying set it to a lower level. At 1300mbps, its broadcasting on 80hz wide channels.
Maybe your region sets restrictions that the 80hz wide has to be on the dfs channels.
I don't know your region so its more of a challenge
i just tryed all others and i get the same error as i get at the begining of this post
try a simple factory reset and reinstall?
tryed that and the same
does it happen if you leave smart connect enabled?

Are you in range of radar?
no had for a couple of years works fine when i first set up there was no problems and i am no where near a Radar or airport
You could try downgrading the firmware a version or 2 and see if was a problem with a firmware upgrade.
i have done that and now i can not log into the router
