Wireless & channels

[benitok]

After comnig back from holiday I notice that my wireless signal is jumping around between low and good.

I've tried channel 1-11, but same problem. If I use channel 13 it's fine. I've noticed that some people say channel 13 is not legal, but other say it's ok.

Is there a goverment website that I can verify this?

Only problem with channel 13 is that my HTC3600i cellphone doesn't pick it up (works on channel 6).

Found this on the web:

...Some clever firmwares will automatically restrict your channel options based on where you tell it you are. Here's what my router did:
Africa/Asia/Australia/Europe/South­ America: 1 - 13
Canada/United States: 1 - 11
France: 11 - 13
Israel: 5 - 7
Japan: 1 - 14
Mexico: 11 ...

Is this correct?

it thought that it was only up to channel 11

but when I looked it up to double check the license exempt range is 2400-2483 which makes channel 13 and 14 for that matter legal
