    I tried in router mode too (default) and it still didn't show me any DFS. I'll try again though.

    AC86U DFS Channels Missing (Canada) Latest Firmware

    That's interesting. I bought mine at Staples too. Does yours say something like US or EU then? Even on the box it says manufactured 2020 firmware 384. So, you'd think it would have DFS since it was approved in Canada in 2018.

    AC86U DFS Channels Missing (Canada) Latest Firmware

    I bought this specifically to use DFS. The 5Ghz on non-DFS is super congested by neighbours (townhouse complex). Zoom/FaceTime is really bad during the day. If i can't get this to work I might give up and get Ubiquiti APs instead. Right now I'm using two TP-LINK APs and they don't have DFS...

    AC86U DFS Channels Missing (Canada) Latest Firmware

    admin@RT-AC86U-6CC0:/tmp/home/root# nvram get wl1_chlist 36 40 44 48 149 153 157 161 165 admin@RT-AC86U-6CC0:/tmp/home/root# nvram get wl_ifnames eth5 eth6 Seems like only non-DFS channels are listed. Does that mean it's SOL? I'm assuming these are hardcoded in.

    AC86U DFS Channels Missing (Canada) Latest Firmware

    I've tried Merlin 384.19 and 386.1beta4 and the official firmware 386.41634 . Each time, I tried factory reseting after upgrading but when I get to the drop down menu I can't see any DFS channels. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong. I've even tried switching it to router mode (initially...

    The first table is the "good" routers, the list below that table are the bad ones.

    AC86U DFS Channels Missing (Canada) Latest Firmware

    I recently picked up a AC86U for a relatively good price. I bought it on the recommendation that it had DFS channels available (https://www.duckware.com/tech/wifi-in-the-us.html#routers). After reading a few threads here it seems like it's mainly available on EU or CN versions. But, also saw...
