Research direction

Start with the linked forum report and the MT7621AT driver, confirming the reported lack of automatic channel selection. Trace how channel selection is currently handled and identify the driver and mac80211 interfaces involved. Done means ACS is supported for the affected hardware and its behavior is verified with an appropriate test or reproduction.
