R7800: Channel 116-128 appears after 11 minutes with "Europe" region ???
Hi All, As I was trying to identify the best 5G Wifi Channel to use, I found what "may" be a bug in firmware. Using any of firmware versions: V1.0.0.40, V1.0.0.30, V1.0.0.28 In Wifi Channel ...
For an EU ETSI CE marked AP/GW , I am surprised that this can be selected as this would provide additional channels 34-46 which
are not part /not allowed in the ETSI group ?
regards the 11 minutes to light up channel 116-128 . This is expected behaviour for the ETSI region as those channels are Weather Radar related DFS channels, which have a 10 minute CAC timer applied . For those particular channels , Transmit is not allowed till at least 10 minutes of clear channel has been monitored . Some retail routers are blocked from using the weather channels or even any DFS channels at all , purely becuse they cause lots of customer calls .

Thank you for the info. This may explain the behaviour I see.
I did not wait beyond the 5 minutes befor changing settings.
Unfortunately the router was send in for a replacement as suggestdd by a Netgear supporter. There was probably no reasonreason for that.
Do you have a link to the info for reference?
Thanks
Thomas
