HI
I have a Fritzbox 7530ax from Zen for my FTTP the router appears to be ok apart from one annoying major issue it is permanently disabling 5GHz wifi due to a false positive of radar detection
(why they implemented such a god dam stupid feature is beyond me). I live on a hill with a fair amount of microwave devices around me, I've used all manner of other routers Draytek, Netgear Tplink amongst them but this thing has me beat, what I need is the ability to turn off Radar detection I fear I will be banging my head against a brick wall with it being of German origin they always know best of course which they don't, I have had many a run in with them at my time with Motorola.
So has anybody got a way of turning off radar detection please failing this I need an alternative but fly in the ointment is that I have digital voice as wellwhich will no doubt make make options rather limited.
Regards Ian
Simply set a channel to 48 or below, problem solved.
Router manufacturers that develop wi-fi routers/access points that can operate in the same range as radar have to legally implement DFS as the router has no way of determing if it's military rader or not and that's kind of the point.
Virgin (ADSL) => Namesco => Newnet => O2 => Plusnet => Zen => Newnet => Zen => Freeola => Vivaciti (using O2 Wholesale DSL) => Xilo (C&W Wholesale) => Xilo (O2 Wholesale) => Xilo (TT Wholesale due to O2 Wholesale closure) => Zen LLU =>> ZeN FTTP (Openreach 300 Mbps down, 47 Mbps up)
