Why only US Region for Firmware 2.7.0.70?
RBR50 / RBS50 Firmware Version 2.7.0.70 is advertised for US Region Only. Does anyone know why?!? I am not in US and I successfully installed it. I found bizarre that an update to firmware 2.5....

Dear community,
I am reposting my my questions that are still unanswered
(1) why this firmware update is only flagged "FOR US REGION ONLY"
(2) what's the impact of installing in outside of the US
(3) does anyone have a list of changes introduced by the firmware (e.g. removal of 75% transmission power)
Mstrbig thanks for your attempt answering my questions. Luckily my update was very smooth and I didn't experience any of the issues you described.
Can you please confirm that you are not based in US?

I'm sorry but I cannot answer the 1, 2, 3 questions, as I am in the U.S.
Regarding 1, maybe some features are different, since ISPs are different overseas, or some languages omitted.
Regarding 2, Cannot answer, except for my answer 1.
Regarding 3, a simple NET search will give you the answer, as well as a forum search for 2.7.0.70.
