It could also be because of the channel. Each country uses different 
channels, this means some gear from other countries tends to run on 
different channels.
According to this
http://www.passmark.com/support/wireless_overview.html
*Country* 	*Available channels*
Europe 	1-13
Spain 	10-11
France 	10-13
Australia 	1-11
United States 	1-11
Canada 	1-11
Japan 	14


We've had problems with our Japanese PSP and some laptops not being able 
to connect at home which was resolved by changing the channel. Also a 
similar problem at work where some things could connect and others were 
unable to for no apparent reason also resolved this way.
