    802.11ac USB adapters with support for DFS/channels>64

    Hi Alex, I compared drivers from various RTL8812AU USB-adapters and it looks as if the ASUS USB-AC56 driver is the latest one: From the Windows 8.1 (64bit) .inf-file: 01/03/2014, 1026.6.1217.2013 While the DWA-182 C1 version is: 11/13/2013, 1026.4.1023.2013 Edimax is also listed in the AC56...

    802.11ac USB adapters with support for DFS/channels>64

    Thanks, I have just checked the list of certified external WLAN devices on the website of the WiFi alliance. Regarding the DWA-182, I was wondering if the driver would also work on other 8812AU-based devices. At least the USB ID should be included in the .inf-file (correct me if I'm wrong). As...

    802.11ac USB adapters with support for DFS/channels>64

    Thank you, very interesting! Information related to DFS-support of WLAN-clients is really hard to find. In the specifications, they usually just say "802.11ac" or "5Ghz", but not which channels are exactly supportet or the frequency-range. According to wikidevi.com, The C1-revision of the...

    802.11ac USB adapters with support for DFS/channels>64

    Thanks, I would also prefer to use a PCIe-client, but I do not have any slot left to populate.

I am trying to figure...

    802.11ac USB adapters with support for DFS/channels>64

    Hi all, I'll soon be getting an 802.11ac router which supports DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) which is needed for access to channels above the lower 5Ghz channels (5150 to 5350 mhz, channels 36 to 64). This means that my router will also support e.g. 5470 to 5725 mhz, channel 100-140...
