Frimware Broke Router - 2.4ghz now showing channels 1 - 14; both wifi 5 showing 36 - 165. Help!

Crazy to be even dealing with this

No networking equipment manufacturer will guarantee protection for future unknown vulnerabilities. Your damage is in hundreds and easy to fix today. Global services company may lose billions after cyber attack and may need weeks to recover.
 
Reset Button, WPS reset method, GUI reset - nothing is fixing my router anymore.
Since upgrading to the new merlin, my wifi is no longer showing 2.4, 5_1, 5_2, im stuck and unsure what do to anymore.

I think the frimware broke the router somehow, as the 5_2 is now showing 160mhz in settings, the 2.4ghz band is showing 1 to channel 14, which is totally illegal.
It only allowed 1-11, and now its totally messed up.

Seeking assistance.

Also both wifi 5.0 5_1 and 5_2 have access to ALL channels (36 - 165)

Need help, sos!
It's because you used the frimware instead of the firmware to update your router.
