This is not a simple question. Some Orbi routers are able to change the Region setting, and others are not. I have never seen an explanation for the difference. The best advice I have is to find a country that closely matches the radio regulations in your country. Check the 5G table in the article:

Is there a specific reason only a Netgear system is acceptable?
More likely to get support by purchasing a product available where you live.
