Hi All,

Recently I ran into this FCC new rule:

FCC will disallow 802.11d after January 01, 2015
After January 01, 2015, the FCC will not allow the use of 802.11d. The client cannot rely on the Access Point to ensure compliance to the FCC certified frequency bands. For example today, a non-U.S. AP can be used in the US, which will allow transmitting on channels 12 & 13 with unapproved power output in the 2.4 GHz band, or channels 120, 124 & 128 which are prohibited in the 5 GHz band. This will not be the case once FCC enforces the new rule

Does anyone know if there was any work done to support this?

BR,
Guy Mishol
