WN2000RPT unable to change region
Hi, I have a WN2000RPT which originally had firmware V1.0.1.20NA and, as I am in Spain I upgraded the firmware to V1.0.1.24 and reset the router. When I try to configure the region it is greyed ...
OK, so for anyone that is vaguely interested, through trial and error, I have a solution: -
Load Release Firmware Version 1.0.0.2 (North America only)
Load Release Firmware Version 1.0.0.2 (All regions except North America)
Load Firmware Version 1.0.1.24 (All regions except North America)
Also performed a factory reset between each firmware update although I'm not convinced it was necessary.
Hey presto, I can now change regions. Also the throughput has improved considerably and no longer times out. I have managed the AV and MS updates plus also downloaded a 3Gb file sucessfully.
If nothing else my efforts have saved me from having to buy a different manufacturers product...
