WAX 6XX what's up with the 802.11H setting?
I don't really understand what netgear is doing with the "Enable 802.11h" toggle in Advanced settings. 802.11h is encompassing of DFS and TPC. When unchecked (disabled) my access points can still be configured and in fact utilize DFS channels when set to Auto. What exactly is the 802.11h setting doing?

Consult the fine manual (and very likely similar in the Web UI online help under the (?)):
Settings. 802.11h
Select the 802.11h Enable radio button to enable 802.11h-capable WiFi clients to automatically switch to a new channel without disconnecting from the access point and without losing any data when the access point changes to another channel. By default, the 802.11h Disable radio button is selected and 802.11h is disabled.
You can enable or disable 802.11h for the 5 GHz radio but not for the 2.4 GHz radio.Text borrowed from Insight Cloud Managed WiFi 6 AX3600 Access Point Model WAX620 User Manual p.224 "Manage the Advanced Radio" settings table.
