RING EERO ROUTER PRO

Use of DFS channels requires a listening period to check for radar signals in the area. Using eeroвЂ™s automatic channel selection (ACS) feature, the gateway will check channel conditions after a reboot and once per week.

and Canada running eeroOS v3.19 and above with an eero Pro as the gateway. How do I enable DFS and how often does it run?ДFS support is automatically enabled on all eero networks in the U.S. As with all features, we will continue to monitor how DFS performs in the field, work with customers, and evaluate future improvements that bring this to more of our products.

Since there are many client devices that support 5 GHz but not DFS channels, DFS is not enabled on eero (dual-band) at this time and is only available on networks with eero Pro. This enables the device to use more channels while keeping your network and devices working without interruption. While this radio is listening to make sure the channel is clear of radar before it begins transmitting, the other 5 GHz radio and 2.4 GHz radio keep meshing and serving clients to provide uninterrupted network connectivity, as well as compatibility for devices that may not support 5 GHz or DFS channels. This difference is due to differences in regulatory power limits in each country (higher power means better range). In Canada, DFS is enabled on the low 5 GHz radio. In the US, DFS is enabled on the high 5 GHz radio. eero Pro nodes have two 5 GHz radios, which means we can react to DFS channel conditions on one 5 GHz radio and continue to serve network traffic on the other, with no interruption. This ensures resiliency to network conditions and interference. We created TrueMesh to allow eero nodes to mesh with each other on every radio. This is referred to as a вЂњradar strike.вЂќД®ero access points, or вЂњnodes,вЂќ have multiple radios that receive and transmit data independently. Once operating in the channel, if an eero network detects a radar signal it must move off of the channel immediately so as not to interfere with these critical services. DFS is a mechanism and certification program where access points (like eero) must passively listen to the DFS channel and verify that it is clear of radar before transmitting. To safely operate alongside these essential services, DFS was created. In the middle of this range are channels that share frequency space with other systems such as weather radar and satellite communications. In the 5 GHz frequency band, the spectrum is divided into several channel ranges. Because of this special certification to drive in these lanes, fewer home networks use these channels. DFS channels are like a mostly empty вЂњexpress laneвЂќ that only certified devices can use. Your neighborsвЂ™ routers and devices act like additional cars in your lane if theyвЂ™re using the same channel. The more wifi devices (like cars) there are in the same lane, the slower traffic gets. Much like a highway, the wifi radio spectrum provides lanes, or channels, for data traffic (like car traffic) to pass through. DFS takes advantage of additional radio channels to avoid interference and improve the speed and reliability of eero networks. and Canada on eero Pro with eeroOS v3.19.0. WeвЂ™re excited to announce support for automatic Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) in the U.S.
