Do you have its speed set for "up to 4800"mbps? That requires use of the DFS channels.

If you set it down to "up to 2400mbps", are you able to set it for the higher channels?

    What firmware are you on?

    there's shouldn't be any issue using those channels. Its a dfs channel but it'll auto switch to a different channel if it detects a radar signal. and then switch back when its clear.
