    I think it will be available within a few weeks. Everytime a new firmware is available it tells you on the Knowledge Base for that update what will be included. There will be some fixes and a few additional features for the Geo-Filter as far as I know.

      More VPN producers and probably custom VPN client will be included... That is a critical feature most people are waiting for. A few weeks is quite vague...

      Is there a way to understand the roadmap and provisional dates?

        Yes new VPN solution is being tested currently. No not really, due to the fact that two development teams work on the router and bugs can cause setbacks.
