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."

If your router's light turns red, don't worry. Internet connection is ok.

Thank you BS and gurus!

P.S. Previously, I installed the firmware image downloaded on March 1, now I downloaded the same one, only for March 3, the kernel is the same. Tell me, are there any differences?

[kernel-panic69]

It's not for March 3. The upload process has glitches. There was to be another release uploaded and I guess it was cancelled. It seems to dump the release folder under the previous release's folder and 'latest', which is now 404.
