How do I change my WiFi region to USA?

I purchased an SXK80 product from Amazon USA, the default WiFi region was USA when I got it, I have done firmware recovery and region modification through NMRP Server software (previously used in R7000 product), but now I want to switch back to the USA region, but selecting US when recovering the firmware can only recover to Europe, or only North America and Australia, i.e. NA and AU.
How do I restore the WiFi region to US please? Thanks.

  • With a google search, I found documentation on regions
    artmtd -r region, query current region
    artmtd -w region region name, modify region
    Region code
    0x001 is for region NA
    0x002 is for region WW
    0x003 is for region GR
    0x004 is for region PR
    0x005 is for region RU
    0x006 is for region BZ
    0x007 is for region IN
    0x008 is for region KO
    0x009 is for region JP
    0x000A is for region AU
    0x000B is for region CA
    0x000C is for region US
    But now I can't search for region US and its region code 0x000C, why is that? Is it canceled by the new firmware version?


    The current firmware version used is Firmware Version 4.2.3.102

      Hi shejialun ,

       

      Please select NA if you want to recover to the USA area. I think it will resolve your issue. Let me know . 

       

      Thanks,

        Hello Basavaraj,
        I have two questions:
        Is the US region code being canceled?
        Does NA mean North America, the same wireless standard as the US? thanks
