So what is the solution? I am needing wireless service in a remote area of Mexico...but I didn't catch what the solution is/was. Can anyone explain?

There may be no solution.

Each country has its own radio frequency allocations. Using equipment not approved in that country is a serious violation of the law.

You have to check with EACH country's government to find out what is allowed and what is not.

You may have to carry different connection equipment for each country, and change it when you go through customs.

One other thing: In a truly remote area, there is not likely to be a wireless station available within range.

Supposably, you can use AT&T blackberry plan and tether to it and be able to get it anywhere on the planet where you can get a cell phone reception. It costs around $150 a month for unlimited data and the minimum 450 minutes (which i wouldn't use abroad, the rates are sky high). $120 If you don't pay for tethering and can figure how to connect it without the cable and can endure an even slower connection.

that i think is the true answer to this question. i gives BB internet wherever you are. just be ware of cellular roaming rates.

i use a nokia 6121classic (because of the 900 HSDPA in NZ) to the same effect/ very economical, considering what it gives you, (it is cheaper than some land based rates over here, where we have the most expensive BB on earth. literally.)

You can change your Wifi channel using the manufacturers instructions.

Spectrum assignments and operational limitations are not consistent worldwide. Most of Europe allows for an additional 2 channels beyond those permitted in the U.S. for the 2.4 GHz band. (1–13 vs. 1–11); Japan has one more on top of that (1–14). Europe, as of 2007, was essentially homogeneous in this respect. A very confusing aspect is the fact that a Wi-Fi signal actually occupies five channels in the 2.4 GHz band resulting in only three non-overlapped channels in the U.S.: 1, 6, 11, and three or four in Europe: 1, 5, 9, 13 can be used if all the equipment on a specific area can be guaranteed not to use 802.11b at all, even as fallback or beacon. Equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) in the EU is limited to 20 dBm (100 mW).
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

there is software out there that can save different configs for wifi as profiles, one for each country or what ever. to change the broadcast channel you normally go to network-show all devices/connections. rhtclk,properties. in the general tab,configure. then in the advanced tab, scroll to find IIBS channel or something similar.
