What stand NA for firmware ?

Post by rushino »

Hello,

Umm i am quite confused about the NA firmware and a little bit worried. I am from Canada so i taken the NA version thinking it was North American version.. but some other user said in another thread that NA stand for Non American ?

Looking at DD-WRT NA seem to mean North American so that why i though it was North American..

Did i choosen the right firmware ?

Thanks.

NA does indeed mean North American, so your ok. The only real difference is that the FCC has more regulated wireless channels restricted than other countries. You could flash a NON-NA firmware and get those other channels, however you would be breaking the law.

Hi rushino,

Luckily you already found the answer to the uncertainty that I (unwillingly) caused! Have fun with your 'new' router (it felt like that here)!
