Wrong Country Code: AU in settings; US Broadcast
I am in Australia. Recently I have been having problems with Macbook connectivity. If I run a diagnostic scan from the Mac I am informed: - The basestation is broadcasting a US country code. ...

So my questions are:
1. I this an expected behaviour to broadcast US with the AU setting? I assume the Mac is correctly reporting the region code.
That is the assumption. Any other device you could test it with?
If you look at the wifi channel restrictions, there isn't a whole lot of difference between AU and US broadcast. maybe the mac just isn't seeing it right and thats the issues you're having.

What problems are you having?
Is it only the mac with the issue? or what all devices have issues?
