As per title. The 2.5 and 5ghz come up as DE on a scan, google fu is not too good, this going to be an issue on the frequencies?

Manufacturer says it is factory set.

It is working fine including English when browsing into it fresh out the box. Updated OK as per instructions, all English. Took a minute to setup and it was off and running on Infinity 2. I/P TV works fine as well.

My only concern was the frequencies. Not wanting to conflict with the other home wifi routers in the area. Quick email to the manufacturer and they confirmed the unit was German factory set wifi, non user selectable.

OK, run with it then.

I only have 4 5ghz frequencies on my selections as well, need to dig out the old router and see how many that has.



Edit. About 12 5ghz frequencies on the old router.

I have set UK as my region.

Just that the wifi descriptor says "DE" when I scan it, all others are GB, and it is factory set (as per reply in support ticket).

The issues is I don't want to be interfering on the wifi and still time to return it.


tp link vr900 BTW. Anyone else with one?

OK, its going back then. I count 9 channels (other users routers in the area). If there is to be issues, I don't want to be the cause.
