    New Router Grabs More 5 GHz Channels To Speed Up Your Wi-Fi

    Also do keep in mind that the radar we are talking about here are safety and life critical equipment, they are what keeps you safe when you're landing in airports prone to weather conditions. These are not optional check-box features or "my router is faster than your router" specs. The FAA and...

    --------------- In theory, this would be a logical approach. However, that's not how things work in reality. If you read thru the FCC spec or similarly ETSI for Europe or MIC/ARIB for Japan, you'll see that all regulatory regions require continuous scan of the intended DFS channel before you...

    New Router Grabs More 5 GHz Channels To Speed Up Your Wi-Fi

    -------------------- Thanks for the kind welcome, sfx2000. Very cool summary. Agree with you, that folks have been doing DFS since 11a (I do remember, I was there). However, there are some fairly exotic aspects to DFS, and it isn't as easy as just opportunistic scan... otherwise we'd see DFS...

    --------- European certified equipment are actually forbidden to use the upper 5GHz band (5.725-5.825 GHz). This is probably why your Fritz box access point only operates in low 5GHz and mid-5GHz (DFS). Your Pce-ac68 PCIe client was probably certified for international operation so can...

    ------------- See the response for #11 above. The 30 minute non-occupancy rule is part of the DFS specifications and cannot be changed by user. And yes, it is minutes... that's an exceedingly long time. It is unlikely (pretty much impossible) for radar to “spam a bunch of crap” over wide...

    --------------- I don’t know about PCIE adapters specifically. But we do know that all mobile clients like iPhone 5 and 6, iPad 3 onwards, most Android smartphones and tablets after 2013 (like Samsung Galaxy S3), MacBooks and most newer Windows laptops (with built-in Centrino, BRCM or...

    --------- The 30 minute “non-occupancy time” rule is actually part of the DFS specifications. The regulatory agencies actually tests for the spec, and all DFS-capable routers must comply. Conventional DFS routers, when they encounter a “radar event”, they have evacuate the occupied DFS channel...

    ------------- Hi guys, I'm new to the SNB forum. Glad to be participating in this conversation. I'm one of the co-founders of Ignition Design Labs, the makers of Portal. I wanted to contribute additional details to the discussion. I will try to keep the marketing bs to a minimum. The...
