Installing and Using OpenWrt

Hi
Today I tried to change the 5ghz channel on my router, wifi 5g stopped working after that.
I tried to remove and recreate a wireless network on it but nothing changed.

I am getting the same problem have you been able to activate it.

Does it work again with the old channel?

I rebooted the router, created a new wifi network with what I think was default settings, rebooted again and it worked. I think the issue happens when you set a custom channel (other than 36 in my case) OR when I set a country (fr in my case) instead of "driver
default".
