joechat Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Hypothetically speaking... If I were going to move to Japan and bring my Asus N56u router.... How would I get the Japanese firmware to enable other channels? Would I need a new router? I've searched their site and I found something that was a "source" file but I can't open it. Thanks for any help in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 The firmware dictates what channels are allowed in a country, so technically all you have to do is upgrade your firmware to the Japonese one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joechat Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 I maybe didn't word the question right. I can't find it anywhere and was wondering if any of you use the router and have seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I had a quick look in the Asus firmware support page and it's got all the major languages but Japanese. I also checked for open source firmware, but there's nothing for the type of router you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineDominator Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 does this one have telnet access? maybe you could set your wireless region that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) does this one have telnet access? maybe you could set your wireless region that way? I know that Asus router very well, I've been doing a bit of research into it and I don't believe its firmware supports Telnet.

joechat Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 there's an option to start a telnet server on it. I don't know how that will help tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
