Hello everybody,
This is more of a bit of an early warning. And not really Aruba centric, but we all do wireless and some of you might hit it...
I made a spontaneous purchase of an ASUS AC1200 USB adapter recently, then followed by a Netgear A6200. The idea was to get an early start with some 802.11ac testing. In hindsight, this was a bit optimistic!!!!
The short version of the story, is it turns out both of these adapters (based on the one I purchased in the UK) seem to be restricted to the Chinese regulatory domain, seriously restricting the channel sets (if you're in Europe or the US of course). Quite apart from this being legally worrying, this of course causes all manner of inter-operability problems...
I logged these incidents with ASUS and Netgear, and they haven't responded, for obvious reasons I suspect...
Keep an eye out for things like this!!!
