Hello!

 

Regarding "WiFi region supports EU, AS/NZ, HK, and UAE" , how does one manually select the region? Or is it automatic? Currently Canada is displayed on my router settings and it is greyed out, so I cannot make any manual selection of the REGION setting

    What browser are you using? 
    Has a power OFF of the RS for 1 minute along with the ISP modem/ONT then back ON make a change?

    For all NETGEAR routers in retail market, including Orbi, we fix the WiFi region for US and Canada, this is to comply the local regulation requirements. For the products sold in other places like in Europe, the users can select the WiFi region.
