Every firmware available for the Orbi RBK50 package is listed here:

Any of these versions can be manually loaded on the Orbi router and satellite.
No one seems to know why some versions say "for U.S. Region Only". It may have something to do with licensing the Netgear Parental Controls software. It may have do to with....(alien spaceships - probably not.) No one knows. Very frustrating.
While you are certainly able to load any version of firmware, some of us are reluctant to be "early adopters" until a significant number of posts have appeared in the forum reporting "how well it went" and there are no longer posts saying "this ruined my network and I had to revert to a previous version."
