Pind Dadan Khan Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hi, I have the opportunity to buy the XR700 from someone in UK (i am in US) for only $200 or so, just wondering is there a software setting on the UK/EU models which allows region change to USA? Reason being that I prefer to use wifi channel 157 on the 5ghz band, this isn't usually available in the UK due to local regulations. I know on my old (spare) Netgear R6300v2, the region can easily be changed via a drop down menu but no idea if the same can be done on the XR700.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 24, 2019 Administrators Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hey, welcome to the forum! There is no way to change the region on the inferface, the list option is greyed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I deleted my post as I thought I had given bad information, but I am correct you can actually change the region and use channel 157.....I have just done it and taken a screenshot!.............................But this is on the XR500 but assuming it can be done exactly the same on the XR700 but as my unit died I cannot confirm.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 24, 2019 Administrators Share Posted February 24, 2019 Interesting, it may be because I have a pre retail version that I am unable to. Perhaps someone else could confirm whether or not they can change the region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmDawgg Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I can confirm on the pre-retail version that I have the region is greyed out as well but the channel can be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
