Hello I would say something has created a bug if this is what you're seeing.
I have a Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H running Barrier Breaker r40528 Both networks have the same essid: [email protected]:~# uci show wireless | grep ssid wireless.@wifi-iface[0].ssid=OpenWrt wireless.@wifi-iface[1].ssid=OpenWrt Radio0 is BGN Radio1 is AN Wireless Overview Generic MAC80211 802.11bgn (radio0) Generic MAC80211 802.11an (radio1) Scan results are as expected here: Scanning of Radio0 show devices on channels 1-11 Scanning of Radio1 show devices on channels 36 and 149. Note: on this router the wifi is currently disabled. I also have a TP-Link TL-WDR3600 v1 running OpenWrt Chaos Calmer r42345 / LuCI Trunk (svn-r10521) Both networks have the same essid: root@HACKEDBOX:~# uci show wireless | grep ssid wireless.@wifi-iface[0].ssid=HACKEDBOXWIFII wireless.@wifi-iface[1].ssid=HACKEDBOXWIFII Generic MAC80211 802.11bgn (radio0) Atheros AR9580 802.11an (radio1) Scan results for radio0 show ap's on channels 1-11 Scan rsults for radio1 show ap's on channels 64-153 The wireless dropdowns show the correct channels for each spectrum as well. I'll see if i can get the chance to update my tp link to trunk to see i see the same issue as you. On Fri, Nov 21, 2014 at 1:39 AM, Robert P. J.
