Wifi Channel range


Recommended Posts

I can get wifi out in my garden up the path and out on to the street.

 

You might be on a congested channel.

 

How to check the channels for congestion Here

 

I know how to change the channel, but last time I must've done something wrong. I had to reset my router... Yeah, that feeling.

I believe the reason that there aren't more wireless channels is partly hardware and partly country regulations. I think 2.4Ghz hardware only allows for 1-14 but the laws of different countries regulate which channels can be used. More information on Wikipedia regarding which countries allow which channels :)

My billion router goes to 13 I have had them in the past that go to 14 and there was a disclaimer saying only for use in certain countrys.

 

So I assume the Netduma and many other routers only go up to 11 to make sure that people in any county can go anywhere in the range without getting into trouble.

It seems 12, 13, 14 are not aloud in north America unless it is in low powered conditions up to 13 aloud in most of the rest of the world , 14 in japan only under certain modes.
