Misc Questions
Why is the Atheros Client Utility is set to Albania?
The reason channel set is currently showing Albania is because the wireless card receives this information from the access point from the 802.11d wireless standard. In order for this to show the US or another country, you will have to enable the 802.11d standard in the drivers advanced tab, as well has be using an access point that broadcasts an 802.11d signal with the country's code in it. Many routers and access points do not broadcast this signal, and it is not a very widely used standard. The channel set shows Albania by default as it is the first country in the alphabetical list.
The power level setting is still being investigated by our product engineers and atheros to determine if there is a problem with the power level, a cosmetic problem showing an incorrect number, or some other issue.
