DFS Wifi GL.iNet routers

Has anyone managed to connect any GL.iNet router model to a DFS wifi?

Currently I have a GL-AR750 and have not managed to connect to a DFS wifi which I am trying to repeat.

So at the moment I’m using an old mobile to connect to the DFS wifi and USB tethering into the GL-AR750 but I’m thinking about getting a new router maybe another brand… or if there are any other GL.iNet router models which can connect to DFS wifi I would consider it?

At the moment I think it is not possible for the GL-AR750 to connect to DFS wifi but if anyone has managed to with ssh uci etc I may take another couple of hours trying to!

Or may be interested in other models

Hi Alzhao thank you for your care about this matter.

I have seen these posts and the guide you made and tried the following:

root@GL-AR750:~# uci set wireless.radio0.doth=‘1’
root@GL-AR750:~# uci set wireless.radio0.country=‘US’
root@GL-AR750:~# uci set wireless.radio0.channel=‘104’
root@GL-AR750:~# uci commit wireless
root@GL-AR750:~# wifi
root@GL-AR750:~# logread | grep DFS

… So far so good.

But then when it gets to trying to connect, firstly the scan does not complete it only finds some of the wifis. I have to do the scan so to follow the guide and get to the “other” and enter in the DFS wifi I want to connect to. When I go to other and enter in the ssid and try to connect it times out. This is the logread of when I have tried to do this 2 times at 12:12 and then a 2nd time a few minutes later. Can you see why this does not work? Many thanks

Can you show the whole content of /etc/config/wireless?

Seems that wifi settings are not correct and wifi is down

it works!

So it is possible for the GL-AR750 to connect to DFS wifi. I think the problem was low signal strength. Since moving it to a better position it works. Thank you for encouraging me to continue trying.
