Netgear WG602v4
I am to configure the device as an end point. The problem is when I go to attach to a network it wants me to specify the country. Well the country setting is grayed out, and I can't connect without it...

It's not EOL, it's manufacture refurbished, and only purchased just before xmas. (with 1 month netgear support included as it was manufacture refurbished).
I'd consider the unit NFFP ("Not Fit For Purpose") - in the UK if something is sold which is incapable of performing the task for which it is stated by the manufacturer it performs, (in this case the client bridge functionality it was purchased to do), it's considered "not fit for purpose", and the manufacturer is liable.
Thanks for the suggestions. It's intended use is to link a PVR to the interwebs, to enable video streaming (and extended EPG updates i expect) , so a substantial AP isn't needed. I was thinking something of a comparable priced unit £20 (that's circa 30$) - I'll probably point him towards a Buffalo, as i've configured a number of them as client bridges in the past.
