Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
Note - This is only in specific appliances that support WiFi6.
DFS detects radar signals that must be protected against interference from 5.0 GHz (802.11ac/n) radios.
When these signals are detected, the operating frequency of the 5.0 GHz (802.11ac/n) radio switches to one
that does not interfere with the radar systems. DFS is enabled by default.
802.1x (a/n/ac/ax) is supported. The advantage of WiFi6 (802.11ax) is that it improves the throughput-per-
area in high-density scenarios such as corporate offices, shopping malls, and dense residential areas.
For configuration, see below.
