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).

Most routers have a WiFi region setting to deal with that sort of stuff, but if it doesn't look up what channels are allowed in the US and manually set it to use those.
