Error in the WiFi information on the 711 Page
In the interesting article Kindle 3 Keyboard Shortcuts et al on blog.diannegorman.net , it says under General :
Quote:
- as expected there's no 311 Page ; - but there is a 611 Page, though it's empty ; - the 711 Page contains an error; it says "Country: DE", but that should be "Country: NL" ; Has anyone else discovered a similar error on his/her K3 ? Last edited by AthenaAtDelphi; 10-10-2010 at 07:12 PM. |

There is a 311 on my K3. It shows the list of all the telco providers in range.

Yes, the K3, 3G for Australia. Maybe that is the difference.

As for the country, again it doesn't matter as you're in Europe and the WiFi channel allocations are the same everywhere in Europe. There is no difference at all in power or channel availability. |

not exactly true, because USA restricts channel 12-14, while most of the world doesn't.... |

You'd expect the K3 WiFi to show: - or no 3G-page at all ; - or 2 empty 3G-pages ; Quote:
Why not something like "Country: EU" ? (And for all the jokers out there, yes I know, Europe is not a country) |

I'm unsure where inside the Kindle that it actually sets the WiFi region. The Atheros WiFi chip used by the Kindle 3 has all of these settings determined by the driver which is loaded. I've not looked that closely at the driver and related files to see what sets the region. It may be a fixed selection of regions or it may determine it based on your account. I've no idea. |
