With so many routers on the market, it’s important to understand the difference between DFS and non-DFS devices for outdoor Wi-Fi. This article breaks down the pros, cons, and ideal use cases for each.
Introduction
Outdoor Wi-Fi solutions vary widely. The choice between DFS and non-DFS routers can make or break your deployment, especially on the crowded 5GHz band.
DFS Routers
Pros: More channels, less interference, regulatory compliance.
Cons: Slightly more complex setup, possible CAC-induced delays.
Non-DFS Routers
Pros: Simpler configuration, instant channel selection.
Cons: Fewer available channels, higher risk of congestion.
When to Use Each
DFS Routers: Best for high-density, high-reliability outdoor environments (campuses, stadiums).
Non-DFS Routers: Suitable for small, low-traffic outdoor areas with little risk of interference.
Conclusion
For most modern outdoor networks, DFS routers are the superior choice. However, understanding your unique needs is crucial for optimal results.
