Orbi RBR/RBS50 vs RBR/RBS50 v2

I have a system I recently setup with RBR/RBS50. Just noticed a newer version with RBR/RBS50v2 for $80 cheaper. Can someone explain the difference and if it's worth the pain setting up the new hardware?

    Hi TanujB

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community! 

     

    The RBR50v2 does not support Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and there is no USB port. Those are the only 2 difference, performance wise they are the same.
