A simple reboot of the Freebox device may allow some users to regain access to the 160 MHz and DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) Wi-Fi channels, even when using a repeater. These channels are part of the Wi-Fi spectrum that can provide faster connection speeds. DFS channels are typically used by radar systems, so Wi-Fi devices must dynamically avoid them to prevent interference. The 160 MHz channel refers to a wider bandwidth that can significantly increase the data transfer rate of a Wi-Fi connection. This is especially beneficial for activities that require high-speed internet, such as streaming video or online gaming. However, these channels are not always available due to regulatory requirements and potential interference from other devices. Some users have reported that after rebooting their Freebox, they were able to access these higher-bandwidth channels, which could potentially double the Wi-Fi throughput under ideal conditions. This improvement could lead to a more responsive and faster internet experience for those who manage to unlock these channels. It’s important to note that the ability to access these channels may depend on various factors, including the specific model of the Freebox, the location of the user, and the presence of other wireless devices in the area. While a reboot may help in some cases, it is not guaranteed to work for all users.
