Do you have a license (or Special Temporary Authority, or its equivalent in other nations) to do so - or is this an unlicensed (none needed/granted by regulation) setup?
I'm curious, what nation (or radio regulator jurisdiction) are you in?
What band have you shifted to?
How long did you upon setting the "DFS channel" - wait for the SSID to come up"?
Must you use the frequency, couldn't you shift the frequency more (if the equipment is variable, of course)? (I'm not sure this matters much anyway.)
Do you mean:
"disable [use of the] DFS CHANNELS"; or
"disable DFS [radar detection on THOSE] CHANNELS"?
All the questions are necessary to assist in this forum with your specific inquiry.
Hello and thank you for reply..
I have two projects in mind..
First one is, I am a hamradio operator and I want to enable 5.7 ghz band on my device for ham-mesh networks..
Second one, I am in a project and we are using a downshift device to convert the 5 ghz frequency to C band with licence for sure.
So, the when I set the radio to 5.2 Ghz channels, it actually transmits at 4.4 ghz.
So, I am legally using this whole frequency range..
But to be able to use the DFS frequencies , I need to disable them..
As far as I search on the net, there is a way with wireless-regdb
Just I am not that much familiar with kernel compiling on wrt side..And what after installing wireless-regdb?
So, for the two projects I mentioned above, I have valid license to use the the band without limitation.
For ham bands, I need to modify the db.txt to allow the forbidden channels and next step to add the channels between 100-143
For the 4.4-5ghz tx, I need to use the whole band either..
So the concern is not only for DFS, for a whole frequency range
Arguably off topic or at least tangential, I'm curious about a 5 GHz transverter, especially with the input and output frequencies so close together and over a wide bandwidth. Wish I had the gear to tune filters like that at 5 GHz!
Using an unregulated country is not a solution actually.
Yes you may save some frequencies from blocking.. but for hambands you need to add some new channels.. And to do so, db.txt should be modified accordingly..(to give a wider range of channels which normally does not exist in db.txt file for any countries)
So, right now.. I am looking for way of modification wireless-regdb database on openwrt 18
I will update the topic when I find some solutions
(There are some issues with Python 2 vs. Python 3 on older source. Working with master would be my suggestion for a forward-looking project, in general.)
So another question comes to my mind..
Anybody experienced to dial a direct frequency instead of channels?
I mean change the center frequency to something 5580 to 5585 or 5590..
So we can use 5/10 mhz channel spaces also with chanbw option..
