Are EU Orbi 970 Owners Abandoned? (US is on v12.x, EU stuck on v9.x for a year!)
Is anyone else in Europe feeling completely left behind by Netgear? I invested €1,899 into the Orbi 970 Mesh System, expecting a premium, top-tier flagship experience. Instead, European customers ar...
FYI, EU and other has NOT been abandoned. Currently NG is beta testing WW regional FW.
NG intended to make sure that v12 firmware was working first in the NA region as EU and other regions have specific ISP and WiFi conditions that differ from NA region, that NG needs to review and develop and make sure it works. Once all goes well in beta testing, NG will release to EU and rest of regions. Not sure when that will be. I can only presume very soon.
When Firmware is released and marked as NA ONLY, this means that only the NA region can use this firmware on there units. ALL other regions needs to avoid loading this version to avoid having issues appear. it is NOT compatible with all other regions outside of the NA region. Please wait for release WW or EU/APAC marked released firmware to load when those are released and put up on NGs download site!
FYI orbitechdude isn't NG management. NG doesn't give out time lines or roadmaps.
FW development doesn't happen over night.
