Wireless adapters and Regions

Phaethon

Question about wireless adapters, especially the 802.11 b/g @ 2.4Ghz channels.

Each region and country has their own rules about allowing to transmit data over selected channels.

In the US they allow channels 1 through 11.

In Europe the general rule is 1 through 13.

Spain, Israel, France, Japan and others have specific rfules or even less rules.

Now I know that ADAPTERS (the part in your PC) can differ aswell. US manufactured stuff (like laptops)can only find 1 though 11, European stuff (here in holland anyway) can see channels 1 through 13.

My question is, What about ADAPTERS sold in Spain or France or Israel? Can those adapters see less channels then the ones sold in Holland?

Like Spain I think, is not allowed to use channel 9.

If I take a spanish adapter to the US, can that adapter find channel 9, or not?

 

Hope my question is clear enough Thanks for any insights you may have

this is ..so totally the wrong place to ask this type of question. while i do know a little about it, im just going to suggest you look @ a site that might actually be able to answer in detail. this has nothing at all to do with gaming. (maybe dslreports.com)

my guess would be that it could work anywhere in the world so long as it was configured properly since we do import and export and travel with the devices.
