To my knowledge, there is no RouterOS based product that is certified up to the 5.4 band. I do know that some of the routerboard radios have some certifications, but not sure the details. I am almost 100% certain there there is NO certification for the 5.4 band that requires DFS, but it is possible that I am not up to date on that one. -- ******************************************************************** * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation * * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://store.wispgear.net/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * ImageStream, Mikrotik and MORE! * * NOTE THE NEW PHONE NUMBER: 702-537-0979 * ******************************************************************** _______________________________________________ Mikrotik mailing list [email protected] http://www.butchevans.com/mailman/listinfo/mikrotik Visit http://blog.butchevans.com/ for tutorials related to Mikrotik RouterOS
