I’m likely going to be visiting Japan in a few months. I was pointed by family towards a Wifi service for visitors there. Its FAQ states: “This service can be used with wireless LAN-equipped devices meeting Wi-Fi (IEEE802.11a/b/g/n/ac) standards for smartphones, tablets and PCs etc.”
I have an iPad 2, which would be my first choice for use there for obvious reasons. Its Regulatory page under the General tab lists the following for Japan:
T D111322003
R 003WWA111318
R 003WWA111319
R 003WWA111320
R 003WWA111321
What are the chances I’ll be able to use my iPad on this service in Japan? If I can’t, then my '09 Macbook Pro is even less likely to be able to, but I can’t figure out how to see what standards it conforms to.
Do you mean the iPad, the laptop, or both? I wasn’t sure because, as I said, the specific numbers in the quote didn’t appear in that setting page I found, and I can’t find the equivalent one on my laptop.
You will be able to use the wifi quoted above with any device you’ve got. The only time I run into problems with my 15+ year old devices is when I visit friends who think it’s fun to disable 802.11b on their routers. But the FAQ you quoted says ‘b’ is supported.
