Missing Radio1 5GHz WiFi after upgrade WDR3600

Hi there,
I upgraded TP-Link TL-WDR3600 from 21.02 to 22.03.2 and notice 5GHz wifi didn't work. Tried reset configuration. Radio1 interface not showing up. What can I do?

root@OpenWrt:/etc/config# lspci -v
00:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR958x 802.11abgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)

root@OpenWrt:/etc/config# cat wireless

config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option path 'platform/ahb/18100000.wmac'
        option channel '1'
        option band '2g'
        option htmode 'HT20'
        option cell_density '0'

config wifi-iface 'default_radio0'
        option device 'radio0'
        option network 'lan'
        option mode 'ap'
        option ssid 'edited'
        option encryption 'sae-mixed'
        option key 'edited'

Try with this (then add the interface):

config wifi-device 'radio1'
	option type 'mac80211'
	option hwmode '11a'
	option htmode 'HT80'
	option channel '36'
	option path 'pci0000:00/0000:00:00.0'
	option disabled '0'

Solved.
I even reflashed to stock and 5ghz was not up, so I decided to disassembly router. Found coffee marks on back side PCB and dust. Cleaned everything and 5GHz back to life :slight_smile:
