Using laptop in Japan

[johncotter1978]

Hi,

I have a US laptop which works with wifi in Europe and US no problems, but I'm not sure about Japan.

Can anyone tell me if a standard 802.11b/n wifi network will work ok in most places in Japan?

I know, for example, that blackberries have issues.

thanks

I'm not familiar with the Japanese standards, but if you can, check and see what channels they use in Japan. The U.S. and Japan may have very different frequencies in use. If the Japanese use the same frequencies as the U.S., you should be fine.
