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.

Linksys EA6400 working good on this version. Recently I'm found some GUI config problem. Feature named: "UPnP IGD Service" have neither value. I'm choose disable and device is more secure and stable. I don't known is problem only in my device, but when this setting is configured router can work better with ctf module and I haven't problem with internet connection speed. I think all users that have CTF or other problem should check in GUI settings on NAT / Qos -> UPNP page. Sometimes Upnp have neither value in configuration. In my opinion should be permanently disable for security reason.

(First 2 lines from before the reboot)
By flashing many firmwares from r62036 back to r60662 I found that the error first showed up in r60697.
If I should report this elsewhere, please, let me know. Thanks to all the gurus! You rock!

the r7000 does not run kernel 2.4. and the ld.cache corrupt message is harmless. no rollback needed _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking? Sounds like a Mac to me.." - Louis Rossmann https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL_5YDRWqGE&t=60s
