6E Channels below 33 not selectable on AXE5400 v1.60 US
I cannot select any channels lower than 33 while this should be available in the US. What is the reason of this? A bug or is there a perfectly fine explanation for this?

Hello, thank you very much for posting on TP-Link Community.
The channels below 33 in the 6GHz frequency range represent the initial 160MHz range, which is separated from the 5.8GHz frequency by filters.
The signal strength might be slightly weaker in this range, thus it is not available for manual selection by default. While when you use Auto channel and all other channels exhibit poor performance, the system may automatically select the first 160MHz channel(below 33).

Thank you for the informative response.
Though on other routers and even in the emulator of the AXE5400 on your own site, the channels are manually selectable, to add to that, I know someone that has an Irish AXE75 (which is the same as the AXE5400) that can manually select the lower range. At this time the whole range of 6GHz is very much unused, but that will not be the case in the future. I would rather have full manual control over my routers than this.
A lot of auto routers around me, I see switching exactly the wrong way, which is ironic, so I am not a fan of gating this behind the auto choice.
Will there be a FW update that changes this?

Any update on this? Seems like an easy fix.

So, no chance of having this implemented? Last FW update didn't change this.

If this is the way things are "handled" by TP-Link, TP-Link devices will not be going into my consideration for my next purchase. The silence is deafening.
