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! _________________ Atheros

I don't know why, but this update made my WRT54 GL 1.1 not boot anymore.
Had to TFTP back to Linksys Firmware, 30/30/30, update to mini generic and fine again after 30/30/30.
Still working like a charm - over what... 20 years?
