I don't know that kit, but in general terms, in USA the legally permitted maximum transmit power for Wi-Fi is higher than in the EU so any US equipment (or equipment that's been told it's in the US - some have a setting when you ascribe the country of use) might be blowing out the OfCom regs. Of course, you'd have to have someone shop you to get caught - I don't think there are any "Wi-Fi Detector Vans" prowling the country. At one time the permitted radio channels also differed, but I haven't looked into that for ages. Over time there have been efforts internationally to harmonise them.

Beyond that, the Wi-Fi standards - it terms of the bits and bytes and so forth - are the same worldwide.

Personally, I wouldn't take the chance unless I were prepared to "write off" the cost if it doesn't work or I could buy from somewhere with a good returns policy. It would be preferable to buy something that one can be sure will integrate with the existing fleet.

I don't know much about us and uk nodes. But if you face any connection problem coz of router login issue then this wifi admin access might help you in resolving it.
