Description
For some models of FortiAP devices, the FortiAP Profiles defined on the FortiGate for Radio #2 (5 GHz radio) display asterisks next to some wireless channels. These asterisks indicate dynamic frequency selection (DFS) channels on the 802.11ac 5 GHz band.

 Frequency selection may be restricted to abide by regional regulatory compliance laws.

The Fortinet Wireless Product Matrix lists the currently DFS certified FortiAP device models and notes that DFS certified models require the latest FortiOS version.
