Why can't I set a channel for 2.4g other than 36/40/44/48? (bad radio?)

[s dr]

wl0_chlist is 36 40 44 48
wl1_chlist is 149 153 157 161 165
wl0_chlist is 0

I'm thinking just setting them different may not be the right move.. if the radio isn't broken maybe the enumeration is wrong somewhere?

I cleaned the passwords from the cfg if posting that would be any use.

Your router is indeed missing one of its three radios. I see eth1 and eth2, but there's no eth3. That first one is failing to start:

If the same thing happens after a factory default reset, then you'll need to RMA your router, sorry.

dead spider...

Like RMerlin mentions above - arrange for an RMA for exchange or return...

Amazon is cool with this - devices do arrive DOA sometimes...

Have done multiple factory default resets. No change.

Replacement initiated. Thanks so much for the advice.

sorry to see this - Asus is a quality product...
