RBK53S purchased in USA to be used in Argentina

I want to buy a ORBI RBK53S in USA to be used in Argentina.
It will work ?

Or will I have problems with the country code?

Or will I have problems registering or with firmware updates?

Model: RBK53|Orbi AC3000 Tri-band WiFi System

Re: RBK53S purchased in USA to be used in Argentina

The first thing to consider is Argentina's electrical supply is 230v at 50Hz, and the plugs are different than the US.  I believe the US power supply supports this, but plug adapters will definitely be required.  My own (personal) practice is to connect critical electronics to either a UPS or a surge protector.

 

From what I can find on the web, the country code for Argentina is "AR".  I have not yet found information about which WiFi channels are supported/blocked in Argentina vs. the US. This could become an issue, especially depending on how close your neighbors are.

 

Do not see how this would affect registering the product or downloading firmware updates.

 

Good Luck!
