- Qantourisc 11y agoYou sir, are the reason FCC even has a job. (Assuming channel 14 is illegal in your place of living.)
- dogma1138 11y agoIt is in NA there is a lock beyond channel 11, Europe allows upto 13, C14 is only available in Japan. The sad part is that most wifi cards won't even able to see anything on C14 none of my phones or laptops see the network on a router which is confirmed to have an open baseband. But on most router's I've seen the baseband doesn't actually operate on C14 even if you set it up it just defaults back to it's default channel, 12 and 13 can usually be accessed these days on NA routers as well. Basically every time you operate on a locked channel you are breaking the law, channel 14 in the US the only one which is flat out forbidden (most likely due to overlap with military communication), while 12 and 13 are restricted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
- wtbob 11y agoIf you're in the U.S. and use channel 14, my understanding is that you're interfering with someone else's spectrum. So this isn't like a right such as arms-bearing; it's more like trespassing.
