RT-AX86U - 2.4Ghz Utilization in Wireless log

[stockman]

Hi all. Is there a way to show channel utilization % for 2.4Ghz band? In System Log --> Wireless Log -- my AX86U currently shows utilization % for 5Ghz, but not 2.4Ghz. Low level details show QBSS channel utilization stuck at 100% (!!) for 2.4Ghz. Not currently experiencing any issues with 2.4Ghz band - just curious if I'm missing a setting somewhere. Asuswrt-Merlin firmware is 3004.388.7.
Thanks

If you live in dense populated area your 2.4GHz channel utilization will be stuck at 100% most of the time.

Ok, got it. So that number is real then. Is there a reason why it's not displayed in the Wireless Log GUI?

I don't know about Asuswrt-Merlin 388.7, but it's there in stock Asuswrt GUI:

The same router RT-AX86U running 388_24231 firmware, Wireless Log page.

No it's not a real number which is why it isn't displayed in the GUI.

Known bug in wireless drivers?

So this router simply doesn't calculate utilization for 2.4GHz in same way it does for 5Ghz?

Correct.
