The DFS requirement only applies to the 5.25-5.35 & 5.47-5.725 bands. That leaves (8) 802.11a channels or (4) 40MHz 802.11n channels exempt from the requirement. Frank, are you thinking of avoiding the DFS channels?

If so, those are will be more attractive.

There are other factors such as station supplicant/radio support for the added bands (newer devices should support all of them - but they're new so you should double check). Still, some of the upper bands might be used indoors in higher capacity applications. And who doesn't want more capacity? Jon -----Original Message----- From: Dale W.
