FS#506 - BT Home Hub 5: 5g WiFi jumps to channel 36 and stops working if stopped and restarted
User who did this - Mauro Mozzarelli (ezplanet)

----------
This happens also on a WNDR3700v4:

Configure Atheros AR9580 802.11an (radio1) to a Band B Channel (100-140)

Use a WiFi scanner like Android WiFi Analyzer to scan WiFi channels.

The router will be initially on the configured channel. After a few minutes it will jump to Channel 36 (Band A). /etc/config/wireless remains untouched to the original channel only the radio will be on channel 36. On reboot it will take the configured channel on Band B (eg Ch 104) correctly, but it will jump to Ch 36 again after a few minutes.

The router will take the configuration for any Band B Channel, but it will not appear at all. Only if configured on a Band A (ch 36-64) it will appear on the radio waves. 

Also in this case if I disable and re-enable the device it will not work. A reboot is required to restore service.
