EX6150v2 & DFS Channels?

Hello,

 

I have a Nighthawk X4S D7800 VDSL Modem/Router (FW V1.0.1.22) and EX6150v2 – AC1200 WiFi Range Extender (FW V1.0.1.50).

 

The router supports the following 5GHz channels when Europe is the selected Region:

36, 40, 44, 48, 52 and DFS channels 56, 60, 64, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128.

 

If I chose a DFS channel on the router, the extender does not find the channel when doing a Smart Setup channel scan.

 

Are DFS channels not supported by the EX6150v2 or could my unit be faulty? I can find nothing in the documentation mentioning DFS channels are not supported.

 

Thanks for any info :)

    EX6150v2 doesn't support DFS channels at this time. We plan to add DFS but don't have ETA.

      Any news about the DFS channels? Currently still not supported. Would give advantage in crowded areas.
