A device and method enable reestablishing a wireless connection in a wireless network. The method includes detecting at a first wireless device that a previous wireless connection has been lost with a second wireless device that employs dynamic frequency selection (DFS) (step 505). A third wireless device is then identified from a routing table of the first wireless device as a next hop of a route to the second wireless device, and a request message is transmitted from the first wireless device to the third wireless device, where the request message requests identification of a current DFS channel over which the second wireless device is operating (step 510). Next, a response message is received at the first wireless device from the third wireless device, where the response message identifies the current DFS channel over which the second wireless device is operating (step 515). Using the current DFS channel, a new wireless connection is then established at the first wireless device with the second wireless device (step 520).
