GL-AXT1800 doesn't show 2.4Ghz tab in wireless page after fw upgrade to 4.6.4

Hi, I just upgraded my GL-AXT1800 to fw 4.6.4 (release1, Compile Time 2024-09-05 00:22:50 (UTC+00:00)) and the wireless page stopped working. I found Wireless page crash (rpc err 500) after 4.6.4 update in the forum with someone reporting the same issue so I ran the command specified in one answer there:

uci set wireless.default_radio0.ifname='wlan1'
uci set wireless.default_radio1.ifname='wlan0'
uci set wireless.guest5g.ifname='wlan1-1'
uci set wireless.guest2g.ifname='wlan0-1'
uci commit wireless
reboot

And that made the wireless page show the 5GHz tab (but only that). I can see the 2g configuration using uci show and I can even change the ssid using uci set wireless.default_radio1.ssid='foobar' followed by the commit and reboot so it seems to be working fine but I still can't see the 2.4GHz tab nor guest tabs in the web admin.

Btw, in the "Internet" page I can see the 5G and 2.4G icons enabled (both show their respective QR codes) but no matter which one I click, they both get me to the same 5G tab in the wireless page.

Btw, the advanced settings work fine and I can edit all wireless configurations there.

My wireless configuration (using uci show | grep ^wireless) is:

Hi,

The 2.4G broadcasting works?

This issue about the AXT1800 ifname lost probably causing other something went wrong.
And so please try to reset the router to see that works.

Yes, I tried connecting a mobile phone and to the 2.4G ssid (which I previously changed to an unique ssid name to be sure it wasn't really connecting to another router/band and I also disabled the sim data on the phone) . I connected to the router correctly and accessed the internet from the phone without problems.

I'll try to do a factory reset to see if that helps.

A factory reset fixed the issue. Thanks!
