Actually, theoretically channel 13 should be fine. The 1-6-11 rule is US-centric. Theoretically. The problem is that channels above 11 are not allowed in the US so some kit doesn't work too well with them since, as we all know, the world ends at the US border. Many Broadcom devices fail to connect to channel 13 at all. So, we all end up facing annoying US restrictions anyway a lot of the time.
