    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).

     

    Regards,

The reason why the region is greyed out because it is manufactured for the place where you purchase the unit. That is why there are different firmwares uploaded on NETGEAR's site for different region.
