Re: How to check the connection duration of RAXE500
Hi lvchen860217, Sorry to bother you. I noticed that you had bought "NETGEAR WAX206-100NAS" from Amazon US. So could you please tell me whether the "NETGEAR WAX206-100NAS" needs a transformer(fro...
It can happen that your WiFi clients, especially location-aware devices like mobiles, won't recognize (or "see") the router or AP because these might not allow using illegal channels, while both the router and the AP can operate on these.
The key reason is that the FCC does not allow user-configuring US/FCC devices to be operated on bands not legal in the US. Only Market-specific or worldwide models can be configured to match the regulations you need.
Legal? Nope, not at all.
Neither your US-Amazon-offered FCC-router nor your FCC-AP should be exported into other markets.
This is not Netgear's fault. Much more Amazon does not care about the customers. And worse, they allow false complaints, being about US-model power supplies not usable abroad and switchable higher voltages, being about wireless band and lack of configuration options (required by the FCC). And neither Netgear as a vendor nor other community members are allowed to answer the complaints about power supplies, about the inability to change the regulatory settings. .
Hi Kurt,
Thanks for your answer.
If both WiFi Router and Access Point are bought by Amazon US, will they work well (there are no "Bigger problem" you mentioned)?
