    What is this "Reg. screen"? Where did you see it?

     

    You do not need to register anything to use your device.

     

    Registration is usually just needed for warranty and support purposes and starts here:

     

    MyNETGEAR | Login

      By reg screen I meant registration screen on Netgear web site
      I wanted to register in case I need to open a ticket
      Not having problems right now

        Sadly, there are several places you could call the "Netgear web site".

         

        Was it the one I provided a link to?

         

        MyNETGEAR | Login

         

        You should be able to create an account for yourself there without feeding in any details for your device.

         

        First create the account, then add your new router.

         

        NETGEAR - Common Account Management

         

        That is where you get the drop down option for your country.

         

        You said earlier:

        That does not mean that Amazon was the supplier. Maybe some box shifter picked up a bunch of devices somewhere and used Amazon as a store front. We have seen cases of that here before.
