    if you purchase NA SKU, the wifi region would be gray-out according to FCC regulation law.

      Hello Altsai,

      I don’t know what is « NA SKU » but yes, the WiFi is gray out. Can I change it with telnet or other? I can’t access to telnet on this model in debug mode?

        Hi C4mth4, 

         

        If you purchased a North American RAX200, the WiFi region would be grayed-out according to FCC regulation law. Therefore, you will not be able to change the region.

      OP, Try installing TelnetEnable on your pc

       


      Do people really need to install third party software to enable Telnet on the RAX 200?

       

      You can do this on some other Netgear routers without adding anything.

       

      Just login to:

       

      http://routerlogin.com/debug.htm

       

      then enable Telnet and take it from there.
