Issues with upgrading from Merlin 378.56_2 to 380.59 on RT-N66U

[mustafa803]

Hi.

I was using Merlin 378.56_2 on my RT-N66U router and it worked fine. I tried upgrading to to 380.59 and did a factory restore and I noticed a very strange thing. When I set the channel control to Auto on the 2.4GHz band, the router keeps selecting channels 2,8, 9 and 10. It does not choose channels 1,6 or 11 like it used to on 378.56_2 firmware. I tried flashing 378.56_2 and did a factory restore and the router went back to choosing channels 1, 6 and 11. Is there an explanation for this? Thanks

Same here, since 380.58
So i set it myself to :
Wireless mode =Auto
Channel bandwith =20 mhz
Channel control = 1,6,or 11

The channel selector daemon is closed source, so only Broadcom would know...
