Enable Telnet to Change Region on RAX70
Hello, I'm from Greece and recently bought a second hand RAX70. Unfortunately the Region is locked to China even though the router box clearly says RAX70-100EUS. (I thought that it was made for EU...
I finally got it to work.
I enabled Telnet and changed Region to Europe!
Now I have the 4804MHz option!
I managed to do it with Firmware Version 1.0.10.110 running the code I found here:
https://github.com/bkerler/netgear_telnet
I run the:
python3 telnet-enable.py [IP] [MAC] [user] "[password]"
Double quotes instead of single quotes in readme file might made the trick.
Many thanks to Bjoern Kerler!

Nice one. Were you able to see the second wifi network after enabling 4800mbps?
My RAX70 was region locked to Australia. I flashed version V1.0.1.68 (initial firmware) from the support page. This enabled me to select region on the Wireless Setup page and a few other options such as open vpn. I changed region to Europe and then I was able to select 4800mbps on the second 5ghz. It successfully changes settings but I can't connect to that network. I then updated to the latest firmware V1.0.15.146 and all the options were still available, but no luck seeing the second 5ghz SSID.
Someone managed it with a RAXE500 so it might be possible
