Archer C5400 - Suddenly the router decided by itself 5Ghz is not allowed in Australia

Hello all.
I have had this Archer C5400 for a few months now, and everything has been fine.
Until 17 hours ago when in the middle of watching Netflix the wifi dropped out, when I checked what wifi APs were being broadcasted, I noticed that the only one that was showing was the standard 2.4ghz wifi, and all the 5ghz wifi APs had disappeared.
I logged into the router and I saw this message at the bottom of [Basic -> Wireless] page: The 5GHz network is unavailable due to restrictions in your region/country.
Now this is obviously not the case, 5ghz is allowed in Australia. I double checked any setting I could find where the router may derrive it's geographical position and its all configured to be Australia.
I then tried several reboots, and also a factory reset. From the very beginning of a fresh factory reset the router will not let me use 5ghz citing the exact same message of:
"The 5GHz network is unavailable due to restrictions in your region/country."
I have also made sure it's using the latest firmware.
What is going on? Is this my $600 router dead already?
Thanks!

I guess you need contact tplink via hotline.
It seems that there is something wrong with the 5G wireless chip, isn't it?
