The present invention relates to wireless networks and more specifically to systems and methods for selecting available channels free of radar signals from a plurality of radio frequency channels. In one embodiment, the present invention provides for a dynamic frequency selection ('DFS') master device that can facilitate DFS capabilities for one or more legacy access points that do not have DFS capabilities on their own. The DFS master device can be a device communicably coupled to the access point via a universal serial bus (USB) connection or over Ethernet. In some embodiments, the DFS master device can provide DFS capabilities for a plurality of access points on a network. In other embodiments, the DFS master device can be a separate device that is embeddable on the legacy access point device.

Method and apparatus for dynamic channel selection device

The present invention relates to wireless networks and more specifically directed to providing or acquiring an exemplary country code identifier or regulatory domain for a non-limiting device operating in a reduced functionality radio frequency (regulatory) mode based on exemplary location factors and exemplary confidence rankings. One embodiment includes an exemplary regulatory domain selection component configured to weigh location factors associated with a device, based on reliability associated with the location factors, and configured to determine an overall confidence of a country code identifier or a regulatory domain for the device. Another embodiment includes a device configured to operate in a reduced functionality radio frequency (regulatory) or world-wide compliant mode until a regulatory domain can be determined through a trusted cloud service which can be configured to weigh one or more location factors or data sources to facilitate providing or acquiring an exemplary country code identifier or regulatory domain for the device.
