DFS Channels: How to access on the WAX210?

The promotional materials for the WAX210 indicate the hardware supports using DFS channels. The manual even gives a stern warning that I am responsible for proper use of these channels. 

 

This access point is being used in an environment with a lot of neighbors not under my control, two nearby apartment buildings and multiplexes across the street. It would be really good to be able to use some of the DFS channels which have a lot less traffic on them. 

 

I have been unable to locate where in the UI those channels can be unlocked. How can one access the DFS channels on the Wax210? 

 

Suggestions would be appreciated!

    Can you locate the pop-up window when going to Network >> Wireless on the Web UI?

      On my similar (older WAX214v2 version) it's a very unlucky Web UI design :

       

       

       

      Here you can select the band(s) desired, or [All].
