Tags: #DFS
Model: EAP650  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.15

After a few days or weeks my EAP's will (falsely?) detect a radar and return to the lower channels which are completely congested and unusable in my location. I have to manually revert to a DFS channel.

 

I would like to request auto revert/retry of the DFS channels after a set period of time. Since obviously I am able to use those channels for sometimes weeks in a row. I also see other AP of neighbours on DFS channels which apparantly are not being kicked of those channels.

Thank you for your feedback and post. We have forwarded your request to our developer team for evaluation.

Please note that all requests undergo a thorough evaluation by our developer team before being added to the roadmap. This process may take some time, so please be patient if you don't see immediate results. Features with lower priority or fewer user reports might experience delays in implementation as we gather more feedback and compare it with competitor products.

It is important to understand that submitting a request does not guarantee its implementation; only requests that pass the evaluation will be considered for inclusion in future updates.

  @timdj This suggestion was already made in the past too.  So far no change.

 

My work around has been to generate a daily email at 0800.  If it switched channels in the last 24 hours I'll see it and change it back.  It's a nuisance to say the least.

  @timdj Lately lots of dfs events.  Mine never recovers, even after a few days. So I wrote the script below to perform a dfs channel recovery automatically. As my EAP is not controller managed, the script performs the equivalent of clicking save on the 5G wifi tab. Which is enough to restore the original channel.

 

This is run as a cron job every 30 minutes on a server that's on all the time. Commands are very simple, using curl to communicate with the AP.

 

I see from one of your earlier posts you're using the controller. It's my understanding there's API support for the controller, so something similar can be implemented. It took me an evening to hunt down the right url, extract credentials, then figure out the variable expansion in the scripting (for a cleaner script).

Finally had some dfs events.  Things worked as expected.
