Model numbers

Please let me know if the model numbers are different in EU countries? For instance I am looking for the R7000 and other Nighthawk routers here in Spain.

    michaelkenward is correct. Its the end of the model number thats region specific. The first part of the model should be the same. 

    But if I was looking for a router, i'd recommend something a little newer. The R7000 isn't a bad router but it was released in 2013. Something from the newer RAX line might be a better idea (and potentially cheaper)

    Look at the three letters on the end.

     

    R7000NAS = North Americas

    R7000EUS = Europe

     

    ... and so on.
