Netgear does neither endorse nor support changing the North America models to anything different from US and Canada (due to strict FCC regulations, not because of Netgear wants...).

Yeah they wouldn't condone it, however, I bought it in the US and it's being used in Australia. I'd be more than happy to flick them my residency!
