For DFS
With DFS, an unlicensed device can use 5HGz frequency bands already allocated to radar
systems without causing interference. The device detects the presence of a radar system on
the channel and if the radar level is above a specific threshold, it vacates that channel and
selects an alternate channel.
a. For Operation mode, select 802.11a/n/ac/ax (5GHz).
b. Select Enable DFS - When using an automatic channel, this allows the ACS (Automatic
Channel Selection) to select channels that overlap with radar frequencies.
Note - It may take a minute for the wireless radio to start transmitting due to
regulation requirements when using channels that overlap with radar
frequencies.
c. Select Enable Zero-Wait DFS - This allows the wireless module to use a non-DFS
channel while scanning channels that overlap with radar frequencies and build a list of
"vacant" channels (channels where radar is not detected). When this list is ready, the
wireless module may instantly switch to a non DFS channel without turning off the
wireless transmission.
