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.   ...

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.

    It's been like it for years, through many resets ans reconfigs. Always the same.

        There is radar about 5 miles up the road at an army airfield. So I am prepared to believe DFS is out of the question. My problem is, I can’t select a non dfs channel because I get the error.
