Netgear WAX620 country can't change to Asia

Hi All, 

May I know how to change the device location to Hong Kong, or Asia ?

I find say need to update the firmware, but I can't find out any firmware can support change country to Hong Kong or Asia.

Please kindly help let me know the download location. 

 

Many thank.

Gary

  • It's not a question of the firmware in place. These AP are location specific products, it's burned in the device during the manufacturing process. Some variants, like the ones offered in the US for the North American / FCC regulatory area (WAX620-100NAS) can't be user-changed. FCC regulation prohibit such a location config change.
