Who Owns the Air? Wi-Fi Spectrum Rules Explained
from My Weird Prompts
Ever wondered why your Wi-Fi access point suddenly changes channels, or why you can't use channel 14 in the US? This episode dives into the hidden world of spectrum regulation. We explore how country codes in your UniFi dashboard represent decades of international negotiation, why Israel requires DFS on every 5 GHz channel, and the fascinating history behind Japan's unique channel 14. Learn how Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) turns your access point into a polite guest that must vacate the airwaves for weather and military radars, and why the US, Europe, and Israel offer three very different Wi-Fi realities from the same hardware.
