You can't change the region for the USA region as it's lock in.
Why do you need to schedule a reboot? Are you experiencing problems?

Netgear "hardwires" the region in routers spold in North America.
There is a way to change this:
Solved: WNDR3700v2 (N600) - Can't change wifi region - NETGEAR Communities
But not that this is on an ancient device and required the use of Telnet. That too is a thing of the past that Netgear removed in firmware updates for security reasons.
There is an slim chance that you can find an old firmware for your R8000 that predates the death of Telnet. Apply that, change the region, then apply the latest firmware.
All at your own risk, of course. Although heaven only knows how that would fix your reboot thing.
