I ask because my wrt54gl and wrt320n give me access to all 14 channels.

With DD-WRT you can also raise the power level (probably at risk of burning it out).

I doubt the FCC cops are scanning neighborhoods for illegal channels unless they get repeated complaints.

My dLink WBR-2310 doesn't show anything in the channel dropdown menu. It's on 6 by default and there's a blank spot that looks like you can enter anything. I haven't tried it though.

since my 320n also has dd-wrt on it and if I switched it to 5ghz at 100mw would that cause complaints from neighbors.

I don't know your neighbors well enough to say one way or the other.

You could always give it a try.

Note that many US adapters are locked to 1-11 though as well, the adapter AND router have to support the Euro/Asian channels to access them.

I thought the driver did the locking.
