CHANNEL SETTINGS
– DFS Channels are enabled by default during channel scans.
To disable DFS scan uncheck the DFS option.
Note: DFS channels are a subset of the 5 GHz network that
is shared with radar systems. Some consumer devices do
not support these channels and cannot connect to routers
using them. Examples include some media streaming devices.
Disabling this feature will allow the router to select the best
available channel to broadcast on and allow these devices to
connect.
