Support for Zero Wait DFS, making wireless LAN design more flexible When a wireless LAN access point detects radar waves from aviation or weather radar using DFS*, it typically needs to change the channel it was using to avoid interference. Additionally, to ensure that no further interference occurs on the new channel, a 1-minute scan must be conducted, during which communication is not possible. In contrast, the newly supported Zero Wait DFS continuously checks potential channels for change, allowing for an immediate switch to a candidate channel upon detecting radar waves, thus resuming communication without delay. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or related links.
