Changing WiFi Channel on Nokia G-2425G

I'm trying to use my TP-Link router in bridge mode with GPON Nokia G-2425. This is working well with setting WiFi Channel number in TPLink router same as that in Nokia.
But the issue is sometimes after restart of Nokia router, it changes the WiFi Channel number. I've to again manually adjust the channel number in TPLink.
When I tried to set this in Nokia under Network--> Wireless (2.4 GHz), I can change all settings but Channel number.
Any suggestions of fixing this?

Had the exact same issue on my Tata fiber Nokia G-2425G-A router error set LanWlanObject :5. Turns out it's not an ISP lock, just a broken default in the firmware. 5GHz radio has Standard="b,g,n" set which is invalid (no b/g on 5GHz), so any SSID change gets rejected at the driver level, therefore the error while setting 5ghz WIFI.

Fix:
SSH into router:

ssh admin@192.168.1.254

Password: Last 8 digits of MAC

Enable mode by entering below command:

enable

To access shell, enter below command:

shell

It will prompt you to enter Password2: Copy and paste below password starting from ` till #

'; /bin/sh; #

enter following command to set AC on wifi radio:
cfgcli set InternetGatewayDevice.LANDevice.1.WLANConfiguration.5.Standard "a,n,ac"
cfgcli set InternetGatewayDevice.LANDevice.1.WLANConfiguration.5.SSID "WhateverYouWant"

That's it. SSID changes work instantly after that.

To make it survive factory reset, also patch the preconfig XML:

sed -i 's|v="b,g,n" dburi="Standard"|v="a,n,ac" dburi="Standard"|g' /configs/precfg_remote_encryption.xml
If you tail /tmp/cfgmgr-callhandler.log while trying to change SSID from the GUI, you'll see result=232f at the RTS step — that's the driver rejecting the bad radio config. Once Standard is fixed it returns result=0.

Hope this saves someone the headache.
