5Ghz Wi-Fi doesn't work if DFS channel used on TP-Link Archer C6(EU) Ver3.20
Basic working configuration: dmesg.txt wireless.txt
Known non-DFS channels: 36, 40, 44, 48, 149, 153, 157, and 161
Steps to reproduce:
- Set Wi-Fi 5GHz channel to 52 (dfs channel)
Result:
- 5GHz Wi-Fi stops working:

- Can't use 160Mhz bandwidth, seems because it overlaps with DFS-channels

The MT7613BE radio does not support DFS by design.
Not exactly a solution but setting list hostapd_options 'ieee80211h=0'
in /etc/config/wireless
should disable DFS and seems to avoid channels where it is necessary.

Ok, maybe it's a fact, but it's not solution for a system bug. If this chipset/platform doesn't support DFS, why it trying to be used? Where i can look for that?
