Non-DFS channel

[Avinash Patil]

Can you paste your hostapd config file contents here? Do you have these
fields?

ieee80211d=1

ieee80211h=1(optional for your current channel settings)

country_code=US


Please see this https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/plain/hostapd/hostapd.conf
for verbose information.


Thanks,

Avinash
