Model: Archer AX73

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.2.2 Build 20220317 rel.50456(4555)

Currently this router does not appear to offer channel 5GHz channel 149, this is a shame as it is an alternative non-DFS channel so would be very useful. Its usage is permitted in US/Canada/UK/Europe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels#5_GHz_(802.11a/h/j/n/ac/ax) so I don't see a reason it could not be added. Ideally via a firmware update?

@JamesM

I believe you are from the UK and you own an Archer AX73(EU). If that is the case, please be aware that the Archer AX73(EU) only supports band 1 and DFS channels for the 5GHz, it doesn't support band 4 channels, which is designed to comply with the local regulations.

@Kevin_Z

Thanks I am aware it only supports band 1. That's my question, as it is permitted in the UK/EU to use channel 149 (and others) could support for these be added to the router?
