There might be an option to change the region of your wifi NIC. |

Channels 12 & 13 are legal in Europe, IIRC, but not in the USA. |

You should be able to change the channel of the AP - typically they |

have a drop-down which will choose either "auto" or a specific |
| 14 |
channel. Likewise I have seen some APs ask what region you're in when |
| 15 |
they're first setup. |
