5Ghz-2 RAX 200
I’ve configured the router in advanced mode, web based because I’m used to it. 2.4 and 5Ghz-1 works flawlessly. The 5Ghz-2 works approximately 3 day and drops to (mode up to 600) I have tested every ...
Not trying to be an a-hole but there's google to go over all that. Its a bit pointless for me to retype whats already been explained by others with much better clarity.
Same with the channels.
you can start here though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
It has channels by region and what their broadcast info is.
I’ve searched and studied over several weeks. Every country and router has it’s own setup and frequencies. I’m new to Netgear, and the lame and unstable High frequency DFS, ax protocol bull**bleep**. So it seems the 168MHz doesn’t work with any of my 100-128 Chanel’s.
Conclusion : I need to downgrade to good old 600 or 1200 Mbit/s to enable the lower band stone age channels.
This is totally unacceptable. Keep in mind that RAX200 is a three band router.
I need one channel on 168MHz non DFS in high band 5Ghz ax protocol. To be precise, frequencies 5300-5800. How in earth am I going to mange that?
Any ideas? Dear community.
PS. Are all High bands channels DFS?

PS. Are all High bands channels DFS?I asked the question about where you were located and I know you are not in the US.
In your extensive search and study you should have come across Duckware. The most recent and up to date background on Wi-Fi is found here: https://www.duckware.com/tech/wifi-in-the-us.html
- Many thanks indeed everyone for your cooperation.
These explanation has enlightened me. Now I may rest. Problem solved.
“ However, if an AP detects, during normal operations, that a radar is using a particular channel that is currently in use, then it may communicate to associated WiFi clients to stop transmitting on that channel. (Please be aware that not all AP vendors may announce a channel change to clients.) The AP will then switch to another available DFS channel within the Channel Move Time, which is generally set to 10 seconds. This behavior will cause connected WiFi clients to be disconnected from the network for a period of time before re-connecting to a different channel.
It’s very important to keep this behavior in mind when enabling the DFS function. WiFi networks that are servicing real-time and mission-critical applications may want to avoid such disconnections caused by DFS frequencies.
DFS Channels and Countries
As we just described, the Channel Availability Check is required for DFS channels. One thing to keep in mind is that DFS channels will vary from country to country. You can check the Wikipedia page that lists WLAN channels to see your own country’s requirements for DFS and frequencies in general.
Conclusion
If you want to learn more about the DFS function in WiFi networks, I recommend reading the FCC document that describes this technology.
Also, WiFi expert Nigel Bowden has written a more complete and interesting article about DFS on his blog, which includes some background information on radar signals that use the same frequencies used by DFS in WiFi.”
Cheers…

PS. Are all High bands channels DFS? Channels 149 thru 165 are not DFS channels
