Sorry about my terrible grammar in my original post. That's what I get for using my cell phone haha.

I can't say for sure but my guess is that there will be minor differences in the features that are enabled for network providers in different countries. I'm in the UK and my provider is called EE. When Netgear release new firmware, there's a good chance that this is customised for each provider - this would explain why they don't currently provide firmware updates for the M1 on their site. When I got my M1, the first time I powered it up it checked for firmware updates and automatically installed the latest version via my provider. I don't know where that firmware was downloaded from - it could have been from either my provider's site or directly from Netgear.
