Hello, I am planning to purchase the Netgear Orbi RBK752 in the USA and am planning to take it to India for use there. I wanted to know from the existing owners if the region of the product can be changed. Can you confirm if India is on the list of the regions?Also, it will be good to know if the rating of the power adapter is 100-240V? Thank you in advance

Ok so yes, you can change region here, however mine is grayed out so it maybe locked in here since this is used and was first setup in the USA. I don't know if this opens up if taken to a different region or if this is only open for other regions if the unit is bought outside of the USA. Something to ask NG about before you buy.

There is a difference between Region Code and Language. "India" is not a language. On the pull down language menu, I did not see Devanogari Script as one of the choices, but English is also a common language used in India. From looking at that Advanced WiFi web page, it appears that Netgear has these Region Codes: 0 - Africa 1 - Asia 2 - Australia 3 - Canada 4 - Europe 5 - Istael 6 - Japan 7 - Korea 8 - Mexico 9 - South America10 - North America11 - China12 - India13 - Malaysia14 - Middle East (Algeria/Syria/Yemen)15 - Middle East (Iran/Lebanon/Qatar)16- Middle East (Turkey/Egypt/Tunisia/Kuwait)17 - Middle East (Saudi Arabia)18 - Middle East (United Arab Emirates)19 - Russia20 - Singapore21 - Taiwan India appears to be #13, so there is a very good chance that India is one of the possible Region codes. It is very smart to get an answer from "someone who actually knows" to this question. My ancient RBR50 Orbi has this comment in the user manual: I am in North America, and sure enough, I cannot change the Region Code. Maybe I cannot change it because I am in North America, or maybe there is some "other reason". Netgear has forum moderators who manage different parts of the globe. Perhaps there is one responsible for customers from India (but I have no idea how to find out if that is so or how to reach such a person).

There is no region setting on Orbi. Most Orbi systems here in the USA only have 110v adapters. Though my 8 series seems to be dual voltage.

Thank you for the reply.So, does it mean that it can be used anywhere around the world and the region is automatically detected when setting up the device? Or is it locked to North America?Thanks.

Not really sure if it will auto region change. I don't see India or Bahasa in the language drop down menu for the RBRs web page so I don't know if the India region will be used. You might contact NG support to see what is officially supported.
