I’m using Keenetic Titan (KN-1812) and would like to suggest two important improvements for KeeneticOS.
Request #1 — Option to exclude DFS channels from automatic channel selection
When using automatic channel selection (Auto + Dynamic mode) on the 5 GHz band, the router often selects DFS channels (52–144). In Ukraine, due to the ongoing war, military radar activity is significantly higher than usual. This causes frequent DFS events where the router is forced to switch channels, resulting in 5–15 second disconnections for all connected clients.
Requested feature:An option to exclude DFS channels from automatic selection, keeping the router within non-DFS ranges (36–48 and 149–165) only.
Request #2 — Seamless channel switching without client disconnections
Currently, when the router switches channels automatically (Dynamic mode), all connected clients lose network connectivity for 3–10 seconds. This makes Dynamic mode impractical for everyday use.
My previous router (TP-Link) handled channel switching without any noticeable disconnections. Could Keenetic implement a similar seamless channel transition mechanism in KeeneticOS? For example, by pre-announcing the channel change to clients via 802.11h Channel Switch Announcement (CSA) before actually switching, allowing devices to follow without dropping the connection.
Both features together would make Dynamic channel selection actually usable, combining automatic optimization with connection stability.
