I'm currently running Build r33772 on my EA6500v1. Everything seems to be working okay, with exception of an odd issue with the wireless. When the channel width is set to anything but 20 mhz, neither the 5g nor 2.4g wireless settings will let me set a wireless channel for anything other than "Auto." This issue disappears if the channel width is set to 20 mhz first.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

Toggle 'upper' then save. Channels available? I understand this is a known bug.

Not a bug, but wrong usage.

Thanks for all the help. It appears that I was trying to change to many settings at once. Note, though following the instruction here I can manually set channels for the 5g and 2.4g radios on all channel width settings except for one. The 5 g radio remains stuck on "Auto" when VHT160 channel width is selected. Is this the expected behavior?

I have also this issue with width higher than 40Mhz. Changing extention channel selection and inbetween safeing/applying give no channel selection option other than auto (give channel 52 and 54 selected and no 80MHz or 160MHz bandwidth).

Most routers do not support VHT160, unless you have a R8000P.

The build number in the subject of this thread is wrong: "3372" vs "33772".
