This DFS channel is not allowed to use because the Radar was detected before. But I can't change it.

The error message always displays, but I cannot make any changes to the wireless settings - it just complains about the radar.

 

That happens even when I try and disable the channel using DFS.

 

Any ideas?

    Not sure what you mean by "that happens when I try and disble the channel using dfs"

    DFS isn't something you can disable. You can use non-dfs channels. But if there's active radar, it isn't going to allow you to use dfs channels

      I meant - I tried to disable the 5 ghz channel that was using DFS.

      Simply selecting a non-DFS channel results in that error, so I thought I'd try that.

      Whatever I do I get tat error message when I click on apply.
