In the 5 GHz only 4 channels 374.43

[HorstG]

Hello, I noticed that I have only 4 channels on my RT-N66U in 5GHZ.
Can I change this somehow?
My channels ar 36-40-44-48....
FW is 374.43. Update Needed ??

Thank you

If you only see lower channels, then your firmware doesn't support DFS/TPC and thus is not allowed to use upper channels. You can check for an updated firmware, or use an alternative firmware like dd-wrt that supports DFS/TPC

Be very careful. The instructions in that link are for the AC68U. The N66U uses different nvram settings.

All Asus routers have this issue. for others like Linksys it is the same. I have an AVM 7340 and that offers all the allowed channels. I bet that the 7490 does too.

All Asus routers have this issue.

You forgot "with stock settings".
Here's N66U for you with 12 channels on 5GHz:

Look closely. He's running an old firmware: http://www.mediafire.com/download/7v6d5p3ia57f72a/RT-N66U_3.0.0.4_374.35_4-sdk5.zip

I see now, thank you!
Was just curious, got my RT-N66U 3 days ago and installed Merlin BETA2 on it.
Running like a charm with this firmware.

hello
this means that DFS is not supported by ASUS?
Will there be an introduction of DFS / TPS in Merlin for Rt-N66U yet?
There remains only one other router For example, AVM buy because there all 5 GHz channels are allowed.
Anyone knows whether support DD-WRT / OpenWRT or similar DFS?

Cu Happy Week End..
