That makes sense, but I thought I'm messing with my router to have faster WiFi and not with some weather radar that I don't even know exists

The DFS checks exist to prevent your radio from interfering with the weather radar. You’re only allowed to own a radio that could cause such interference because it has those checks.

Is this from a consumer WiFi or from some bigger antenna?
This is why spectrum in many countries requires users and/or devices to be licensed.
