CPU Temperature: CPU 70.8 °C / WL0 43.0 °C / WL1 0.0 °C (ambient temperature 19.2 °C)
Issues/Errors: no

As always, the Quantenna chip has its own quirks. This is a closed source chipset
There is no way to install a channel.
But you can disable 5.0 GHz. @mpgalaxy hack "If you set the radio mode to station bridge and disable the network mode, the 5GHz device will turn off completely even after reboot."

The fact is that the router is connected to the Internet (to the Internet provider). And it reports an error, the red WAN indicator flashes (the icon in the form of a planet). The internet works, I just think it's a glitch.
But this does not affect the work.
Just relax

1. CPU temperature is not displayed correctly.
CPU temperature readings started changing after one second from 73.6 - 74.1 °C

Thank you BS and gurus!

Not sure what's going on but I can't access the https file server to download the update :/.
Internet seems otherwise fine at my end.

Used ftp client to dl update, it installed fine via web gui, no nvram wipe, so far seems to be working well, thank you.

Router/Version: Asus AC-3100
File/Kernel: asus_rt-ac3100-firmware/Linux 4.4.302-rt232-st51 #11532 SMP Thu May 2 04:52:14 +07 2024 armv7l
Previous/Reset: r56237/Power off/on
Mode/Status: NAT,2/5 WiFi, Wireguard site-site; No DHCP/DNS services
Issues/Errors: Slow boot loop (up for 1+ minutes before rebooting) Saw this with prior build but a power off resolved it. This build a power off did not resolve the boot loop. May be related to the prior reported loop with the 7000. r56182 appears stable so that is what I rolled back to.

Router/Version: Asus RT-AC88U
File/Kernel: DD-WRT v3.0-r56409 std (05/18/24)/Linux 4.4.302-rt232-st52 #11598 SMP Sat May 18 04:02:53 +07 2024 armv7l
Previous/Reset: r55678
Mode/Status: AP, WG client
Issues/Errors: OK

Can't confirm @PeteSL's observation, no boot-loop.
Reboots properly and comes up normally after off/on (in previous builds I had the feeling that a reboot was NOT the same as off/on).
Also, 2xBuffalo D1300 and 1x Buffalo D1800 behave well and can 'tune' in to the repeater-bridge: needed to use 'join' in Site Survey to connect to the repeater-bridge (D1300 on r56409 now), but not any more.

Seems like a good build. Thanks BS!
