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!

This build works well, however there is a serious issue that happens randomly where it will not connect to the Cable Modem after reboot. Flashing back to 08-08-2025-r62036 fixes the issue. I don't know what changed but its a problem.
