Wireless Basic Settings: Region selection issue

Region : Ireland

Model : TD-W8970

Hardware Version : V1.2

Firmware Version : 0.6.0 2.11 v000c.0 Build 141008 Rel.41184n

ISP :
Vodafone

Hi there,

I recently bought a TD-W8970 in the UK and have a question related to wireless.
In the page Wireless Basic Settings there is a drop-down selection to select the region. At this time the country is "United States" and is greyed.
There is a warning
"Warning:Ensure you select a correct country to conform local law.
Incorrect settings may cause interference. "


Unfortunately I can't select my country, Ireland, the arrow is greyed.
It's working fine but I'd prefer to have the right selection.
How can I do?

Many thanks

Try to upgrade the firmware 140613. http://uk.tp-link.com/support/download/?model=TD-W8970&version=V1#tbl_j
After upgrade, you should be able to select correct region.

I think this will be a downgrade
I have Firmware Version : 0.6.0 2.11 v000c.0 Build 141008 Rel.41184n
=> Published Date 08.10.2014

You propose TD-W8970_V1_140613
=> Published Date 13.06.2014

I don't think this is the good way to fix.

Hi M Diamond,

Mr Nice has the latest firmware available from the TP-Link UK website: http://uk.tp-link.com/support/download/?model=TD-W8970&version=V1

I know that 141008 is newer than 140613 and I didn't suggest to upgrade the latest firmware. Maybe the word "upgrade" caused misunderstanding.
Since MrNice wants to change the region but cannot, you can try to upload the firmware 140613 which is not a customized firmware but a latest universal one.

I open a case in the TP-LINK support.
They proposed me to run again the Quick setup and change the region.
Unfortunately it's still not possible to change the region.
I am waiting for an answer. I'll let you know.

Thanks
