Cannot change 5ghz channel on AirPort Extreme

Hi,


so basically, I can go to channel selection, select manual, selct 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz channels, but when I update, 2.4Ghz channel stays what I selected, but 5Ghz goes back to Automatic. Which selects channel 100 which is not detected by some of my devices in Europe.


This only happens on one of my AirPort Extremes. Other works fine.


What am I doing wrong?
