Update on this issue... recall that my router is now configured with 5500, 5180 in the frequency box. At 10:20 this morning, radar was detected on 5500. Let's put aside why a radar event was detected over 24 hours since 5500 was chosen. The router has switched to 5180. Does anyone else think that it should have switched back to 5500 at some point?
IMO any advice about specifying the frequency manually where a DFS channel is used should also say add 5180 (non-DFS). My experience so far is that if you have 5500 alone (DFS in UK and often chosen as max Tx power) and a radar event is detected, the 5GHz channel shuts down entirely. I would argue that this is a bug in ROS 7 - if a manual frequency has been specified and a radar event is detected later on, it should use DFS to find another channel. Not disable 5GHz entirely?
I've deployed quite a few cAP ac devices and in very busy environments, I've chosen the channels manually. I need to go back to one particularly where "slow speeds" are reported and I wonder this is caused by exactly the same problem on ROS v6? At this site, the cAPs reboot every night. I need to look in the logs for radar events.
