    I posted this in the Nets/Comms forum but it wasn't going anywhere, so I thought I'd try here:
    Sooooo......if I read my comreg pdfs and other peoples posts right then the following is true: (correct me if I'm wrong)

    If I buy stuff from the states I can use it in the home, but only in the following bands:

    The unlicensed parts of the 5Ghz spectrum are:
    5.150GHz -> 5.350GHz
    and
    5.470GHz -> 5.725GHz

    BUT, 802.11a stuff bought from the states uses:
    Channel 36 -- 5.180GHz
    Channel 40 -- 5.200
    Channel 44 -- 5.220
    Channel 48 -- 5.240
    Channel 52 -- 5.260
    Channel 56 -- 5.280
    Channel 60 -- 5.300
    Channel 64 -- 5.520

    Channel 149 -- 5.745
    Channel 153 -- 5.765
    Channel 157 -- 5.785
    Channel 161 -- 5.805
    Channel 165 -- 5.825

    So there are several illegal bands being used, illegal because the conflict with road transport and traffic telematic (RTTT) and marine navigation among others.... I live a good distance from the sea, so if the traffic lights start going mental in Ballincollig thats me!.

    I havent received my gear yet (Netgear HE102 and WAB501), does anyone know if it is possible to disabe specific channels on these netgear parts to allow me to conform to the laws of the land?

    You will only use one channel at a time (or two with 802.11a x2), so just pick a channel within the premitted bands.

    The bands that can be used are listed at http://www.irishwan.org/board/showthread.php?t=1115.
