I purchased a router from the EU. So the frequencies are different than those sold in the US.
What鈥檚 the worst that could happen running a router in the US that鈥檚 on the frequencies from another country (like UK).
You might run into trouble with plane radar systems. Here we have built-in features that disables certain frequencies when the router notices such activity.
In the worst case, you will get a visit by the FCC and they confiscate your device. And they will send you an invoice for their trouble.
As long as you configure channels you are allowed to use in the US it shouldn鈥檛 be a problem. Otherwise you might have issues with some clients not being able to connect to your wifi.
I think there鈥檚 a couple of channels that are missing or different which is why u asked.
Just as long as I鈥檓 not knocking planes out of the sky or scrambling my neighbours signal.
Depends where it comes from. The vendor should have a data sheet saying what frequencies are available in which regions. You will then have to disable the frequencies not permitted in your country. Or flash a local firmware onto the device.
Most routers have a WiFi region setting to deal with that sort of stuff, but if it doesn鈥檛 look up what channels are allowed in the US and manually set it to use those.
