This may be a newbie question. Not a problem as far as I can tell just something that I wasn't expecting.
I've installed the latest 23.05-SNAPSHOT (r23222-02a37dee1b
) on a Netgear WAX206. The 5GHz radio is configured for channel 120:
config wifi-device 'radio1'
option type 'mac80211'
option path '1a143000.pcie/pci0000:00/0000:00:00.0/0000:01:00.0'
option channel '120'
option band '5g'
option htmode 'HE40'
option cell_density '0'
option country 'US'
option txpower '10'
and is running a single, AP, network, which however (as of the latest reboot anyway) landed on channel 116:

Previously, still on the 23.05 code (previous 23.05 snapshot imagebuilder) the AP was landing on 120 exactly. Both then and now the AP works normally, this just made me curious.
Is this normal, maybe a side effect of radar detection?
