[RAX70] Wifi - SSID 5G-2 in Mode 'Up to 4803 Mbps' doesn't show up
Hi, I have noticed a quirk in the wifi setup on the RAX70 with regards to the 5G-2 SSID. When I select the Mode 'Up to 4803 Mbps', it takes ages for the SSID to show up and you can't connect ...
do you live in an area with radar (military, weather, or satellite communication)? the "up to 4800" speed requires the use of DFS channels which have certain restrictions. When the router boots up, it has to scan/check those channels before it can broadcast on them (takes longer). And if it senses those channels in use with radar, it can't use them until a set period of time after they've stopped broadcasting.

Ahh that makes a lot of sense. We have weather and military radars in the area I think. Which means it'll switch channels then when it interferes through DFS, I am guessing.
Thanks this has been bugging me for a while.
