XR500 newbie question

Hello,

I'm interested in buying the NG XR500 from a seller, but noticed that, besides English, there is also French written on the box (so " Gaming Router" and " Routeur pour le jeu"). Will I have problems with using that router in the US, because of a region issue? Or will it work fine like all the other ones? Am I better off buying one specificaly made for in the US? Thanks in advance for your help!

    If you set the language to English, the router should work fine. 

    Thought you might have some problems should you go to get support and warranty support for it. Something you might ask NG official support about.
