I don't think it's possible, would suggest contacting the Netgear phone line. Otherwise look up the allowed channels in your country and make sure you manually select those.

I don't think this is possible as they are region locked to prevent people using different channels in their country that are legally not allowed.

Re: XR500 Wireless Region Issue
That is the reason I am asking for help to change the wireless region from Japan over Taiwan, not trying to make any illegal use, thanks

Re: XR500 Wireless Region Issue
The reason for geo locking the wifi regions is so that the wifi channels do not interfere with civil, military, aviation and emergency services communications and equipment
As Fraser says, check your legal wifi channels that you can use.
