Router: R7000
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r27858 std (09/28/15)

Only the 'Auto' setting is available in wireless -> Basic settings for wl1 with VHT80 (80MHz) enabled, resulting in channels 132 + 134 being utilised.



This is a new occurrence, as with the previous firmware I could manually set the channel. This occurs regardless of the Extension Channel setting, and has persisted through a factory reset. Reducing the channel width to 40MHz allows for normal channel selection.

Is anyone else seeing this issue? I may create a ticket, I am new here though so advice on how to do that would be appreciated.

How about when you take the network mode out of mixed?

You have to hit apply again. If you still don't have any channels with 40 mhz width, then you have selected a country with no 80Mhz support.

Dear Kong,

Thank you for answering, and for all of your and Brainslayer's hard work.

I had the country set to United Kingdom, I changed it to United States and now the choice of wireless channel width for 80Mhz is back, so it was as you said. Were the regulations in the UK changed recently? I had this functionality before, but not since the build I am on now.
