RAX40 unlock Wifi region

Hello,

I wonder how to change my RAX40 Wifi region.

It seems to be locked on "US" and I can't change it at all.

Does anyone know how to do it ?

    Hello WraithBand, 

     

    The region is set based on the place of purchase of the device. 

     

    Regards,

      Hello WraithBand,

       

      The 1st time I tried to change the location, it didn't work at all ...

      But just after one reset to factory defaults, (I did so many), I succed to change it!

      Depending on the region, I got differents 5GHz chan available (so it worked)...

       

      You should be able to change region, but for Europe in my case, the contry code is set to "DE" and there is no way to change it.

       

      Regards

      Ron

        Hi Ronald !
        I tried standard reset (7 seconds on reset button then restart) and hard reset (30 seconds on reset button when on, then 30 sec eith router shut down then 30 sec again when on) and nothing changed :(
        My only one region available is United States !
