180 second wait on a detect, i believe. so it waits the 180 before
transmitting initially, then if there is a detection it waits to hop.
the 4.4.2 firmware is really sticky on your alternate channels, it
wont let you save them if you dont have the required separation (no to
2.5 or 5mhz) DFS is really only a 2 mile pmp solution on a good day
with your leg cocked back. but you can do massive speeds in that 2
miles. youre "supposed" to spread your DFS use across the whole band
across your network but i doubt anybody does. consumer stuff i wonder
if it has the same requirements for detection since its "indoor" only.

We mostly avoid DFS frequencies on APs because of the impact if we
get false radar detects. Also we are mostly a Cambium shop. So
I’m a bit confused about DFS on other vendor equipment like
Ubiquiti as well as home routers.
Question 1 – what happens when there’s a DFS detection? On the
Cambium gear, we have to select 1 or 2 alternate frequencies. But
on other gear, I don’t see this. When there’s a DFS hit, does it
jump to another random frequency? Does it rescan the current
frequency until it tests clear and only then resume transmission?
Is the answer right in front of me and I’m being stupid? Maybe in
the case of routers they are exempt because of low EIRP?
Question 2 – what about 40/80/160 MHz channels? We have a
competitor using Ubiquiti gear and advertising residential
subscriber speed plans up to 100x100. Clearly they must be using
at least 40 MHz channels if not 80 MHz, or else their marketing
people have burning pants and long noses. And I don’t see how a
WISP, especially one surrounded by other WISPs, could use wide
channels other than in DFS bands. We have some PTP links using 40
MHz but only 10 and 20 MHz channels on our APs. So assuming you
are using 40 or 80 MHz in DFS, what happens when there’s a DFS
detect? Does the whole 40 or 80 MHz have to find a new home? Can
it slide over 2.5 or 5 MHz and substantially overlap the previous
occupied spectrum? DFS bands come with enough spectrum to use
wide channels, but is there enough to jump around when you take a
DFS hit?
