Is the any reason not to use the DFS channels? The only not crowded 5GHz channels around me now are DFS channels. My Cisco WAP581 seem to be working fine and fast on the DFS channels.
A problem I have with my Windows 10 laptop is if I share the non-DFS channels then my laptop will auto switch to 2.4GHz sometimes even though I have in my Intel AC7260 drivers to use 5GHz. It is frustrating to drop down in speed to 2.4GHz. I sit on the wall by my neighbors 5GHz network. Kind of in between their 5GHz network and my 5GHz network. If I use the DFS channels I don't see this problem with my laptop.
