    Hi,

     

    sorry, I forgot to write an answer in this topic since James forwarded the Support Contact informations to me in private.

    The problem has been solved by installing the firmware "V1.0.2.44_1.0.96" on my R8000.

     

    I'm not sure about the latest version for your EX6150, but for my R8000 the (in my opinion) stable version was listed under the previous versions section.

    In your case I would suggest to install several of the older versions, and try to change the configuration to see, if the error appears again.

     

    kind regards,

    Andreas

I have the exact same problem & get the exact error about 'DFS channel not allowed & radar was detected before'. It appears to be a bug.

I'm using the EX6150 AC1200 wifi extender & it's been installed & configured for a few months & was working without issues. Now about once a week, for no reason, the EX6150 drops the 5Ghz connection to my router (which is handling DHCP). When I try to reconnect the 5Ghz either manually or using the wizard, the EX6150 will not let me save my extisting wifi network info, and returns the error about DFS channel & radar being detected before. So I'm stuck. However, if I cycle power to the EX6150, it sometimes starts working normally again, yet other times it does not.

THIS APPEARS TO BE A NETGEAR BUG!

This post was perfectly relevant to my issue, but NetGear did not post a solution. Only told OP to check their inbox.

What is the problem? And what is the solution ?
