R6400 can't change wireless channel
Hi, I am trying to change the wireless channel on my R6400 router but when I save the change it pops up a message saying "Please select the correct region for your location" and won't let me save...

Hi plemans,
Thank you very much for your help!
Yes, I'm logging in through the browser. I am in Canada.
Under Advanced --> Wireless Settings --> Region Selection it shows: "--- Select Region ---" and the dropdown is greyed out so I can't change it.
Under Advanced Home tab under Wireless Settings for Region it shows "-"
Thanks for the firmware info. Interestingly when I checked for updates under Administration --> Router Update it said there are no updates.
I manually installed the 1.0.1.72 firmware but still can't change the region. :(

try looking at a few threads about changing the regions.
