Unable to enable 2.4ghz WiFi on AC5300

[beboptrumpet]

Hey while back, I used the ASUS Router app to disable true 2.4 ghz WiFi to test for interference with wireless controllers on my Xbox one. Ever since, I am on able to get it turned back on and working.

I have tried updating firmware & a factory reseet...then waiting 10 minutes before configuration.
I tried loading old settings from before I encounter is the issue, I have tried reverting to old firmware and factory resetting—Then tried loading Old settings files that I know were working.

I have tried using the app to turn it back on under both the new fw/factory reset & with the reverted fw using both the old settings file & the factory reset fresh settings.


The wireless radio is enabled under that professional section, but under the main WiFi page, the control channel is set to Auto (with the GUI saying the control channel is 0.)

I’ve tried resetting the wireless radio using that program the script program from amtm.
This got it to where my devices could see it but non would not connect.

Is there a way to do you somebody’s things manually using SSH?
Perhaps set control channel using ssh?

Any other ideas?

I had something similar. 2.4 would not work until I turned off smart connect.

often read here that someones wifi channel went to ch 0 and no wifi anymore. Some could get it back somehow, others not.

This happened to me as well with ac5300. The only solution I could find was RMA. It was a painless process and they even sent me the new unit before I returned the old one.
