archer c7 v2 - 5ghz channel only 36 und 149

Post by manwithoutachance »

why can i put my 5GHz channel set only at 36 and 146.
between them disappears my 5GHz network?

then displays only 2.4 ghz network

Settings are : A+N+AC with 80Mhz

Country is germany.

i´m using gargoyle 1.9.1. the last version on download menu.

it´s terrible. i grad found that my tv has the 5ghz network seletion lost, too.

on gargoyle only channel 36 and 146 works fine. 52, 100, 116 and 132 not. all devices with 5ghz like tv, handy lost the selection. only 2,4 works then.

what can be wrong?

Hi there mate give this a try:

It's the build I am on.

The bad thing is that it's not a good idea to save your settings when upgrading. I think it has a newer 5 GHZ driver.
The driver is:
10.2.4.97
Linksys WRT3200ACM
NETGEAR Nighthawk R7800
NETGEAR R6260

You should set your wifi country settings at the command line.
See the wireless configuration openwrt wiki.
Pm me if you get stuck.
