I recently purchased a MBP 15" from tosh computers - imported from the US.

Everything was dandy till I tried to connect it to Wifi running on Channel 13

the MBP wasn't able to get a 802.11d packet from my router, and if I am following the situation correctly (since the 802.11d beacon sets the country code for the wifi adapter in Mac OS)

So, clearly my router isn't sending the correct packet out. is there any way to get it to send the right one? Because it sets my Wifi adapter to country code X0, so if you have say an imported MBP, it wont allow you to use channels 12 and 13.


These routers are pretty old, so my guess is that the type of response im going to get is to get a new router. But if there is a fix for it, I would greatly appreciate it.


PS: Please don't mention changing wifi channels. Long story short, the others are too congested.
