Standalone R600 accidentally locked to wrong country code

Question

My standalone R600 access point is a US model and has been working fine. But yesterday when I was changing some wireless settings from the GUI, I noticed that the channel selection for 5ghz radio had changed to Smartselect from my chosen 153, and the country code field was no longer locked to US and "grayed out", but instead was not set at all and offered me a drop down list to choose country.

I live in the US, but since I will soon be moving to my home country Sweden, I was curious to see if I could set the country code to Sweden and later on bring the access point to Sweden with me.

I selected Sweden, and now the setting is locked to Sweden (confirmed by the "get countrycode" command in CLI), and I cannot switch it back to the US.

I have tried restoring factory defaults, changing to different firmwares, and even installing Unleashed, but nothing will let me go back to the US setting, and Unleashed only works with the Swedish country code now.

Can someone help me restore it to the US country code which the access point is made for?

Is it possible to reset it manually? I believe it shouldn't be that difficult.
That's quite essential as I use it at work

Hi Victor,

How did you factory reset the devices?

Did you hard reset the devices by inserting a pin to the hole found beside the POE slot and inserting the pin there for 15 seconds? If this still do not work then open a case and have the device RMA.
