UK 5ghz Channels Sometime Available Sometimes Not

Hi all

My mac book pro retina will sometimes connect to my 5ghz network and sometimes it will not ;

when I check the system info I see when it will not connect 5ghz that the UK channels are not supported on my Retina

Other times I boot up and they are supported ....

CRAZY stuff


See dump ; currently it will noy connect

its a dual band netgear ....

WNDR3700


I check my System Logs on my mac and its setting the country code to TW


Either my Netgear is transmitting that country code ( although set to EUROPE in settings ) or maybe my neighbours is set to taiwan and my mac is picking up that beacon ,,,


What a load of poop --- not sure how to fix !!
