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.
