is it possible to change wifi channel with telnet? how?

p/s: after digging on google, I found and tried the following command:

nvram get wl0_channel
nvram set wl0_channel= 11
nvram commit

reboot

After reboot, I have checked on wifi log,
it shows channel 11. But not sure,
is it actually changed to channel 11.

I am pretty sure it is some browser issue.
When I open the router pages with Internet Explorer 10 on a Windows 7 machine, I very briefly see your issue (the Control Channel drop down menu corrupted), this recovers in a split second, then shows correct.
Try another PC, check your browser for any script blocking or malware protection, make sure the browser and your anti virus allow everything from your router IP address (usually 192.168.1.1).

I'm guessing maybe it's Asus bug or my hardware issue?
Or... just my luck? I tried on mac and tablet,
I still don't see channel list. :(
 
It is a weird thing you see.
Do other drop down menus in the router configuration work as expected?
Take the router to a friend or neigbor, try to connect from her/his PC.
Take the router back to the shop and let them connect and see.
Seeing no mass complain about the same issue, it maybe (although weird) be just your router.

Thanks for your tips,
will keep trying and figure out.

Other drop down menus work fine,
only issue is the 2.4Ghz wifi channel selection.

In latest version, the drop down menu is empty ;
In older version, the drop down menu is there,
but only appear in Firefox and unable to select,
In IE & Chrome it's empty.

So weird and confusing.
 
Already went to the vendor for help today.
They have tried reset and reconfigure,
same issue. No channel drop down menu for selection.

They don't have the same model to try,
so we can't determine if it's hardware or firmware issue.

Also, I tried the Padavan's custom firmware,
2 & 5Ghz channel selection and everything works fine though.

So, maybe it's really ASUSWRT's bug.
Hope there will be next version to fix bugs.

Thanks everyone who helps me to solve this issue,
really appreciate that. Thanks a lot.
