I went through a similar problem with an expensive wifi 6 cable modem router (Netgear Nighthawk CAX80). Spent too much money on it ($400 if I remember rightly) for better internet connectivity from xfinity. Worked well until I moved back to the UK, shipping it across in a container, only to discover that it's not only region locked but if it cannot detect an American-style cable connection, it gets stuck in a reboot loop. Wanted to switch regions and turn on AP mode to use it just for that, but now it's an expensive paper weight.
Also had the same problem with a gas pizza oven (Ooni), ironically from a Scottish company, but has only USA gas connections and is impossible to switch regions. I can very much sympathise with the author and am very glad consoles are no longer region locked.
