What's the worst that could happen running a router in another region (lemmy.ca)

I purchased a router from the EU. So the frequencies are different than those sold in the US.

What’s the worst that could happen running a router in the US that’s on the frequencies from another country (like UK).

As long as you configure channels you are allowed to use in the US it shouldn't be a problem. Otherwise you might have issues with some clients not being able to connect to your wifi.

I think there’s a couple of channels that are missing or different which is why u asked.

Just as long as I’m not knocking planes out of the sky or scrambling my neighbours signal.

Depends where it comes from. The vendor should have a data sheet saying what frequencies are available in which regions. You will then have to disable the frequencies not permitted in your country. Or flash a local firmware onto the device.
