Why Satellites' region is different from Router's?

V2.5.0.38

 

In RBR50 Advanced Setup / Wireless, Region is set to Singapore. But two RBS50 satellites all show Region Europe.

 

Why's that so? Does that impact transmitter power or signal?

  • Yes, there are some differences in WiFi standards between Europe and Singapore.

    I had thought satellites would inherit basic settings like this from the router.  It's an interesting find. I am certain there is a way to change the settings to all be the same, but have no idea where to start looking.

      If satellite do have a hardcoded region "Europe", will it cause any performane or stability issue when Router and Satellite's region unmatched?
