Orbi RBR840
Looks like everything was updated except for the RBR 840 and RBS840. Wonder why....

This is not the sort of thing that Netgear comments on (at least as far as I know).
My guess is that the 840 product is based on a different Qualcomm chip. Notice that
The 840 Product Data Sheet describes the radio performance as:
And the 850 Product Data Sheet describes the radio as:
(No idea why one product has the 2.4G radio first and the other last.)
Adding the IoT network obviously involves dealing with the Qualcomm chip, so it's anyone's guess as to whether Netgear has assigned resources to make the same change to the 840 product as to the 750 and 850 products.
It seems to me that it isn't in the cards for the 840, I was curious if anybody else had some insight. If not, then this is a transitional setup anyway. But it would be nice if they bring the same features to the entire product line.
Thanks again. I do appreciate your taking the time for me.
Be patient. I'm sure NG will be forth coming when there ready.
