It takes 60s to scan for Radar only while booting up. It's not like everyone has radar signals near their home so not a major issue
Partially true. But there is a bit more nuance to it.
Like I mentioned earlier, it can take 1 minute to a full 10 minutes.
It depends on the frequency used.
Also, the problem is not just at bootup.
Every time a radar DFS beacon is detected, the AP has to shift channels.
This causes increased latency and dropped packets for all clients involved.
And if the AP decides to move to another DFS channel, it has to do the scanning process all over again.
And it cannot use a radar hit channel for 30 mins post detection as well.
The radar events too can be tricky.
If someone is near an airport, they will definitely get a radar hit.
But there are also instances like weather stations, military installations, portable radar devices etc which can all cause a DFS hit and we might not have an obvious way to know whether these events are a common occurrence in our area or not.
There's also the problem of power limitation.
DFS channels are usually more limited in power transmission than normal channels (sometimes even by 1/4th).
This decreases the range of that AP a lot.
All in all, DFS doesn't seem worth the hassle to me.
It can be a source of more problems than it solves.
And it can be extremely tricky to debug as well.
But that said, everyone's setup is different. And if it works for you, then that's excellent!
