I have a new HalowLink2 purchased from DigiKey. Updated firmware and I noticed that country is set to EU, and would presume that also affects the frequency used by the halow device. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/morsemicro/original/1X/228fdbaa27c8077984e8e13daa574e8f957368fb.png) I’ve looked around and found a device configuration page, that lists the country code as DE and that it’s locked. How do I change to US so it broadcasts in the 900mhz range? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/morsemicro/original/1X/d952ec72f2cf4eb30053e97a7094e0342d029a52.png) ---

Hi @Kenbsherman , Unfortunately due to regulatory compliance reasons you are unable to change the region on Halowlink2s, and this is not something that is likely to change going forwards ---

I’d found the cli commands to make the changes and the radio then wasn’t active, so what you’re saying makes sense. My end goal is to do a proof of concept project, which is why I went with an out of the box solution for the halow capabilities. I also am using the esp32 based 6108 based morse halo products that I’ve got set up as halow clients. My end goal is to have them connect to a halow access point, hence the purchase of the halowlink 2. If my supplier doesn’t have a US based halowlink-2 , is building a pi based openwrt / halo router my best option, or are there others? > [@Build Thread: HaLow for Raspberry Pi OS](https://community.morsemicro.com/t/build-thread-halow-for-raspberry-pi-os/1124): > > Hi All, We’ve been getting a number of requests in the community for help integrating Morse Micro HaLow onto a number of Raspberry Pi boards - specifically those running the Raspberry Pi OS.

You could look at manufacturers like Heltec, AsiaRF. Mikrotik have recently added [drivers to RouterOS](https://forum.mikrotik.com/t/v7-22-1-stable-is-released/269391/20). So I’d keep an eye on hardware from Mikrotik as well 😉
