2.4 Channel Control

[JordanCowper]

Router Model Affected Models: (eg: DSL-AX82U/RT-AX82U/...) AX58U v2

Firmware Version Affected 3004.388.6_2-gnuton1

Is this bug present in upstream Merlin releases too? N/A - may have misunderstood this bit

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is. Cannot manually choose channel

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Select manual channel on 2.4ghz
2. Apply
3. See no changes :(

Expected behavior For UI and router to follow settings I've chosen

"CFG80211-ERROR) wl_dfs_cac_notify_status : May 9 22:08:27 kernel: In wl_dfs_cac_notify_status chanspec 0x1001 DFS state 0 May 9 22:08:27 acsd: eth2: selected channel spec: 0x1809 (7l) May 9 22:08:27 acsd: eth2: Adjusted channel spec: 0x1809 (7l) May 9 22:08:27 acsd: eth2: selected channel spec: 0x1809 (7l) May 9 22:08:27 acsd: acs_csa_handle_request(359): eth2: err from dcs_handle_request:-22 May 9 22:08:27 acsd: acs_set_chspec: 0x1809 (7l) for reason ACS_INIT May 9 22:08:27 acsd: acs_update_driver(440): acs update failed ret code: -22 May 9 22:08:27 acsd: acs_init_run(1249): eth2: update driver failed" I'm not sure if the above is the cause :)

can you please upgrade to the latest beta and test it? please try to reset to factory afterwards and test if it start to work.

[JordanCowper]

I'll give it a try; I was on the alpha before I downgraded to the Stable in hopes of fixing the issue :)

[gnuton]

Remember to factory reset and do not import settings or you will get the config messed up again. Keep me posted.

[gnuton]

any news here?

[JordanCowper]

Ahh sorry no, I've been unable to update due to being quite busy I'll let you know as soon as possible :) I thought this was quite a popular router so surely if it was firmware we should've seen more have this problem

Hello! Indeed, I could confirm that both channels are affected by this issue (2.4 & 5 GHz). Neither the stable .6_2 nor the beta 7 is sticking with the selected channel (and extension). After selecting Apply, both boxes return to Auto. And in Wireless log there are random channels selected, meaning that it's not just a display glitch, Auto is indeed effective. AX58U v2 fully reset after each update.

I was about to flash tonight, thought it might have been a problem caused by me, but thanks for confirming everything else seems a-okay apart from this

Chiming in for more info: Same issue here with a newly flashed RT-AX58U v2 firmware version 3004.388.6_2-gnuton1. However it seems to me that it is possible to choose 2,4 GHz channel via ssh “nvram set wl0_chanspec=XX” followed by “nvram commit” and restart. It will still display Auto on WebUI, but it seems like the chosen channel stays after reboot.

I haven’t tried with 5GHz as the wife needs Wi-Fi.

[JordanCowper]

I appreciate that advice, I'll give this a whirl :)

Hi, do you get javascript erros in the browser coinsole when you try to change these values?

[gnuton]

Checked and confirmed. no errors in the console.

This commit should fix this 9659a643676613eb46e13f158cb5a85fa841302b

I've updated and it seems to be following the settings. Great work Gnuton 👍
