Wifi Channel - DFS refers to the process of detecting and selecting available channels during network congestion.
Wifi Channel - DFS refers to the process of detecting and selecting available channels during network congestion.
When a channel is labeled DFS, it indicates another wireless network is utilizing it, usually radar systems. It's best to steer clear of those frequencies.
It's important to note that the channel isn't always controlled by those systems; DFS allows 5GHz channels to be used alongside WiFi. This designation comes from the regulations set by your local government on spectrum usage. For further details, you can visit the link provided.
From what I understand, weather radar operates in the 5 GHz frequency range. If a nearby radar station is close by, you could experience interference. The safest approach is to try various channels and determine which one works best.
