Hello,
Because of the huge price gap I consider ordering the N800 in the US but I wonder if it will connect to German computers and German Wireless LANs.
I heard that it only supports the Wifi channels 1 to 11, is that correct? Wouldn't be good since we use 12 and 13 here as well.

One hardware, one software... I'm pretty sure the WiFi channel limits are determined by your config, e.g. region/language.

) while walking around in Germany. Do you have a router on channel 12 or 13 if so you change the channel.

Let me ask differently: Is it true, that US Wireless LANs only support the channels 1-11 ? Maybe you can check your router configurations
Thanks,
Phil

I use a us-tablet in germany and first could not connect to my ap because it was set to a radio channel that is not allowed in the states. I opened a thread which was called "wifi channels problem" to address exactly your problem. unfortunately neither the support nor any guys on the forum could help me so far. in the end I just changed the ap channel.

Hello Kalle,
Well then it is true
I guess I have to wait and hope that the price for the N800 will drop in a while. Although 350€ are within my budget I am just not willing to pay so much if the tablet costs only 232$ in the USA.
Do you anyway have an idea what exactly prevents your US tablet from connecting to European chan. 12 or 13 WiFis ? Is it a software or hardware problem?
Wouldn't it be possible to simply "Format C" and install a German OS on it ? I cannot really imagine that it is the hardware which does not permit the US tablet to connect to chan 12 or 13 WiFis.
