laptops from japan connecting to australian broadband in Campus Broadband Chat http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r17719333 en Sat, 28 Nov 2009 12:33:25 EDT Sat, 28 Nov 2009 12:33:25 EDT Re: laptops from japan connecting to australian broadband http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17722765 z9_87 : I'd bet it has something to do with the channel frequencies not lining up.
The channels that are available for use in a particular 
country differ according to the regulations of that country.
 In the United States, for example, FCC regulations only allow channels 1 through 11 to be used. In Europe channels 
1-13 are licensed for 802.11b operation but only allow lower
 transmitted power (only 100 mW) to reduce the interference
with other users of the band.
