It would be a NA sku orbi so no you couldn't change the region on that unit.

So I got 3 paperweights for $600 ? I would imagine in this day and age people move. Really this is not software configurable at this price point ?

I'd imagine they run fine in Europe even with North America set as region? If not I'll be in the same boat as you in due time.

They seem to run fine the first few months. Dont know if since the update to 2.0.0.74 but now extremely unstable and poor range. Factory reset, stepped back to V1.12.0.18 and more but nothing seems to work. Also interesting, adding satellites does not help instea dmakes it worse. So, not saying the AN vs EU setting is key to the whole thing, not at all. I was just hoping to start with a "Quick Win" by changing that setting and ensuring I am in the right frequencies. I figured since the Orbi UI developers placed the setting in a "pull down" box, it would be a selectable feature, otherwise why a pull down box, just make it a text banner in the UI and be done.
