UK bandwidth restrictions to affect Airport Extreme use

to writer of comment 12: the U.K is made up of constintuent states. they are not countries in their own right.

Comment 9 is about the quality of this article, which should have been reviewed by someone with an engineering background before it went out.

You should mention that spectrum allocation (not "bandwidth restriction" varies from territory to territory, and that equipment designers and marketers should bear this in mind if they want to make a universal product. By all means set up your region incorrectly, but don't be surprised if your phone, baby alarm, other kit doesn't then work.

"negatively impact". Ha! Six syllables where one would do: 'hurt'.

And I second #12.

"UK bandwidth restrictions may negatively impact Airport Extreme use in that country"

you mean "those countries" don't you?

the UK is made up of England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland, all countries in their own right, the UK is not a country

Well I know I'll be selling mine on eBay and offering shipping to UK, Japan, Austria, Estonia, Germany, Latvia, Slovakia and Spain.

Doh....

Ok so I re-read the article and it makes a little more sense. However if this is true then how have current 802.11n draft routers like Netgear coped with this?

I don't understand why bandwidth restrictions would effect what frequencies we are allowed to use? It doesn't make any sense to me.

Hey, if i buy the unlimited version from Hong Kong and bring it back to UK ebay do you guys think i can make a fortune on it?

But what is the likelihood of the UK authorities finding out that you are using your Airport Extreme Base Station at 5 GHz in your own home?

I don't like in the UK but I'm guessing that it is very low.

Hmmm .. not good at all. Seriously considering cancelling my order.
