Region change?
I bought R8000 from US during my travel and i want to use it within EU. Region setting can't be changed from admin interface and wireless performance is sluggish because of the low power compared to ...
Hi porschaman,
The region is locked based on the place it was manufactured and also the firmware loaded on it. If you want to change it, you may try loading a different firmware. Check the suppot site (Support.netgear.com).

Just a heads up, i only have these regions on the list currently:
Asia
Australia
Canada
China
India
Korea
Malaysia
Mexico
Middle East (Saudi Arabia)
Singapore
South America
United States
If i right click on the box and inspect element, i could see other region's such as Africa, Europe, Israel, Japan, Russia and North America which has the line in front "Disabled". Editing the line makes the country appear in the list, but applying the setting results in the region resetting to "Select Region", which defaults as Europe (seen from the Advanced tab). Maybe this depends on where you bought it, maybe?
Lastly, running the command
wl -i eth1 txpwr1
wl -i eth2 txpwr1
wl -i eth3 txpwr1
returns this:
TxPower is 127 qdbm, 31.75 dbm, 1496 mW Override is Off
I think that this states the maximum transmit power available for this router, but is limited via the country settings. I need someone to help check out on this too.
