NetGear bug: error msg 'This DFS channel is not allowed, the Radar was detected before' EX6150
I have the exact same problem & get the exact error about 'DFS channel not allowed & radar was detected before', that many other NetGear customers are reporting. It appears to be a bug. I'm using t...
And this DFS stuff is BS. I have no airports, military, or other sources near my home that would trip the DFS channel blocking function.
I followed the NetGear recommended solution to avoid the DFS channels, and still every couple few weeks the 6150 drops offline & has to be power reset to get it back online.
The DFS explaination & suggested work around are BS. This unit simply has bugs & is not stable over time. Even when completely avoiding DFS channels, the 6150 still has the same problem that NetGear attributed to the DFS scenario.
Not happy with this unit. I replaced a cheaper extender with the NetGear 6150 because it was supposed to be a better unit & NetGear supposedly being a reputable brand.
But was let down because the NetGear 6150 is just as unreliable as the cheaper Chinese off brand units.
Very disappointed with NetGear.
