What Region are you located?

I'm in the US. That's the region it lists on the advanced page. I don't think I can change it (grayed out). I don't remember if I ever manually set it or if it just figured out where I am on it's own.
I'll admit to considering changing the region to try out the channel 13 option, away from most people in 2.4GHz. But as I said...isn't possible that I know of.
(Update) I just expanded all 4 regions on the DFS channels supported page, just in case they don't exist until I expanded them. No model listed included "mr", "ms", or "mk" using find in the browser.

Probably not supported on the MK series MESH system then.

Wifi regions are down to local legal requirements. The US seems to be especially rigid and Netgear locks its NAS models.
My "MK" router allows me to switch.

Slightly different on an and R7800.
There were "command line" ways of overruling those settings in older routers, but Netgear may have closed those back doors.
