2.4ghz channel problem since updating to 1.3.0 firmware on Archer C6
![](/avatar/avatar-24.png)
Since updating, the channel option under 2.4ghz wifi doesn't seem to work correctly, no matter what you set it to, if you reboot, it defaults back to channel 5, but the gui shows the saved channel, you have to change (in my case) from channel 1, to any other channel then back again to get the router to correctly use channel 1.
This issue was no present in the previous firmware from Janurary.

I have found what I believe to be the initial firmware for the Archer C6, I'm currently running OpenWRT to see how it fairs and if the 5Ghz issue affects me. If it continues to work then great, otherwise I will try to TFTP recover to the initial release 180627.
As it currently stands, its working better than TP-Link's official firmware, I have no issue with the 5Ghz channel 36 which was crippling speed on 1.3.1, I'm currently running it on 80mhz width, I'm getting 260-325mbps link rate on my dual band laptop and about 120mbps on my phone, thats with a -71dbm signal.
I would not recommend anyone switched to OpenWRT, as for me at least, there doesn't appear to be a route back to OEM.
Top 4 are 5ghz, rest are 2.4ghz, top bandwidth is client to router, bear in mind power saving on the client will drop link rates until traffic starts to flow.
