Channel 1 on 2.4GHz... dead?

[stsalkit]

Hi to all. I am facing the following problem: it appears that all of a sudden, when I choose channel 1 on the 2.4GHz band, there is no transmission, i.e. even as close as 1 meter from my router (RT-N66U) I have no signal. Going into the setup of the router everything appears to be working OK. Changing the channel to 2 or above, the signal comes back!
Any ideas? is it a hardware problem?
Thank you in advance

Not likely, but good starting point would be to do factory reset and see if channel one comes back.

I did a factory reset... I also loaded 2 different firmware... but nothing! the issue is there!

Just for clarification if you select 1 can you see in any of devices or it is not visible at all.

With it set to channel 1 what do you see under System Log > Wireless Log

Do you have any other wireless devices nearby that might be causing interference? Baby monitor, cordless phone, A/V sender?
