I purchased a router from the EU. So the frequencies are different than those sold in the US.

What’s the worst that could happen running a router in the US that’s on the frequencies from another country (like UK).

You might run into trouble with plane radar systems. Here we have built-in features that disables certain frequencies when the router notices such activity.

In the worst case, you will get a visit by the FCC and they confiscate your device. And they will send you an invoice for their trouble.
