If you see five or more networks when connecting to your home or office Wi-Fi,
chances are your Internet is slower than it should be due to channel interference.
DFS uses 5 MHz radar frequencies, when they are not already in use. If available,
using these frequencies in otherwise congested Wi-Fi space can mean a clearer
Wi-Fi signal and less buffering, fewer interruptions, and better speeds.
