wireless networking - Wifi Router 'Region' setting - what does this affect? Transmission power?

I have a NetGear WGR614 wireless router. There is a 'region' setting in the wireless options. I'm wondering what technical purpose of this setting is?


The admin help states:



It may not be legal to operate the router in a region other than the region shown here.



Which makes me wonder if it could be adjusting it's max power output based on regional radio laws?
