Netgear Orbi Router Region (US, UK, EU) (alien.top)

Hello Everyone,

I'm currently residing outside of the US, UK and EU regions and am interested in purchasing an Orbi online and ship it to my country. Unfortunately, Netgear products are not available locally. However, I can purchase from any country online. I understand that different countries have their own specific regulations and signal allowances for such devices. Could you advise which country would be the best option for me to make this purchase? Thank you in advance.

Avoid ordering from the US, the UK or EU might be okay. The US has regulations requiring that WiFi equipment sold (or used) there be hardwired to only support the US frequency bands. Equipment sold for use in most other countries have a menu or other configuration to let you select your country. You want the latter.
