RBK352 cannot change to 5Ghz lower channel.

RBK352 cannot change to 5Ghz lower channel.

My soudbar using 5.8ghz Bluetooth which interference RBK352 5Ghz default channel 157. However RBK352 cannot change 5Ghz to lower channel e.g. 36, 48.

 

Actually, RBR350 dosn't allow user to change 5Ghz channel at all. The drop-down menu for 5Ghz channel is disabled in user interface. I try to change the wifi region from US to EU so that the default channel changed from 157 to 108(DFS) by default. By using channel 108(DFS) my wifi speed improved a bit from less than 100M to around 200M (unstable signal due to DFS mode). 

 

My wifi speed is tested using IPhone, normally the wifi speed is stable 600M when my soundbar turned off and with using RBK352.

When my soundbar turned on, the wifi speed dropped significantly and nearly no singal when I move a bit more far away from my RBR350. 

I was using RBK50 with channel 48 before. The speed works perfectly fine around 400M~600M even my soundbar turned on.

 

From the commnities solutions, I try to change rbk352 using telnet is also not working becaue using backdoor method to open the telnet is not working not RBR350.

 

So, I would like to change the  5Ghz channel to 48 for RBK352. Any other solution for this?
