missing 5ghz channels

RAX45 Nighthawk router,
Any Idea why my setting only show 5ghz channels 36-64 and 100-112 as an option? Region is set to North America.

Re: missing 5ghz channels

Do you have its speed set for "up to 4800"mbps? That requires use of the DFS channels.

If you set it down to "up to 2400mbps", are you able to set it for the higher channels?

Re: missing 5ghz channels

What firmware are you on?

there's shouldn't be any issue using those channels. Its a dfs channel but it'll auto switch to a different channel if it detects a radar signal. and then switch back when its clear.
