Utter rubbish, I have been living near a military air base (for over three years and until tomorrow), they have 1001 different radar types, for my shitty consumer router to cause any interference it would have to transmit at 20 watts using the specific frequency needed and It would have to be within a specific range. Now, max 1Watt MAX transmit power is meaningless unless you live inside the radar housing. The organization that come up with these regulations are just clueless but there you are, be a good boy, dont break the law which is made for peasants to follow. _________________ Saving your retinas from the burn!🔥

FWIW - Radar Detection setting is set to Disable
Seems this might not make any difference.
At what point of time should one reset all configurations and set them again?
Could not doing this cause an issue if one has been updating to new versions every month or so?

or reduce beacon interval on dfs ssids to speed up passive scanning detection, down to 50ms is ok with minimal throughput effect as most dfs channels (esp 100-144) are rarely used. _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)

So, if DFS channels are not recommended to be used then what could be causing my speeds to drop off drastically on non-DFS channels?
Does anything jump out from the settings pics that I uploaded earlier?
Thanks,
To reiterate
132 has best speed, other channels get reduced speed, nearly 50%
Clients both windows and iOS take a long time to connect to 5GHz
iPhones etc keep dropping off wifi when they go to sleep and take a few seconds, sometimes a lot more to connect to 5GHz

A radar receiver needs to be quite sensitive in order to hear the return-echo from the object. Even a harmonic could be heard depending on the range of the radar unit and your distance from it.
Tbf, radar signals have a pattern to them and although you aren't likely to be recorded as an actual return-echo, you could overwhelm the receiver and block a weak return-echo.

That beacon interval=50 on 5GHz seems to have fixed the issue. I no longer am seeing LTE etc on iPhone when waking up from sleep. will keep monitoring but on Status->Sys Info I see Uptime of 22+ hours etc. for the iPhone. There was a power outage yesterday which explains 22+ hours but will see.
My 2.4GHz beacon interval=400 is unchanged. Should I change that as well?

There are no DFS channels on 2.4ghz you can leave it like that if you dont see issues on that band. _________________ R6400v2 (boardID:30) - Kong 36480 running since 03/09/18 - (AP - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7800 - BS 31924 running since 05/26/17 - (AP - OpenVPN Client - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7000 - BS 30771 running since 12/16/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - OpenVPN Server - Transmission - DDNS - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R6250 - BS 29193 running since 03/20/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - DNSMasq - AdBlocking)

I see speeds of less than 25Mbps on Upload/Download on SpeedTest on 2.4GHz
I changed channel to 6 then 11 and speed is similar, a bit improved but not much.
For a 1-gig plan, that is just too low it seems.
All this time, I'd been using 5GHz on most devices and never looked at 2.4GHz speeds.
Does anyone see any other setting that I can tweak on 2.4GHz?
Settings screenshot is on the first page of this post.
