Model: CPE510  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 2.2.2

I'm checking out a new TP-Link CPE510 v3.2 with firmware 2.2.2 Build 20201111 Rel. 58267 (5553) and noticing that it only covers channels 36 to 48 and 149-165 (5180-5240 and 5745-5825 MHz). The missing channel are the ones in the UNC-2 portion of the band subject to DFS. Even the spectrum analyzer function cannot cover these channels.

 

I cannot set the device to any of these channels in any of the modes where channel setting is allowed. In "repeater" or "client" mode, if my home AP, a AT&T Pace 5268, is set to a FDS channel the CPE510 cannot connect to it (channel is forced to "auto" in those modes.)

 

I don't see any option in the web interface to enable or disable DFS, and I don't see any way to view DFS status.

 

So, it looks like DFS support for DFS means, "channels 36-64 and 100-161 are not supported." Is this correct?  Or did I get a unit coded for the wrong region?
