Why am I no longer able to select DFS channels for 5G anymore? Auto is the only option when I force 160Mhz. If I select other Mhz then I just see the list of non-DFS channels?
Low DFS: If you set 160MHz, you can select control channels 36-48 (non-DFS) and 52-64 (DFS). I prefer to select ch 36-48 (non-DFS) for compatibility with clients that only see non-DFS channels.
High DFS: If you set 20-40-80-160MHz, you can select control channels 100-116 (DFS)... and I believe the firmware will use ch 100-128 (all DFS) for 160MHz. If you select the higher DFS channels 132-140, you won't get 160MHz, and may not even get 80MHz.... as I see it.
Not a lot of options for 160MHz... the sweet spots, imo:
5.0 fixed, low DFS - 160MHz bw; ch 36-48 (non-DFS)
5.0 auto, low DFS - 20-40-80-160MHz bw; ch Auto, excluding DFS channels (36-48,149-165)
160MHz bw uses DFS ch 52-64.
