Can this be used on EU models? I seem to recall there was a separate EU FW version previously.

    If your in the EU region, please do not load this version of FW. 

    Apparently they made a information title change after I had posted this.

      Thanks all for the clarification. Do we know when an EU version will be made available? Looks like a lot of these (potential) fixes are very much needed.

        WE don't. NG doesn't give that information out. Historically I have seen later released come out with in a couple of weeks of the 1st release posted. However, I've seen it take longer as well. I can only presume NG is working on the EU region now and hopefully will get released soon as possible. 

         

        I'll make a new post here when I first see it.

      Well, I updated all my devices yesterday before I knew it was US only… I live in Spain and so far I haven’t had any issue with the update, everything is working and both satellites and router updated correctly. Is that a problem? I mean, should I leave it like that and wait for the EU version (hopefully coming next days) or downgrade to previous version if possible?

        If your not experiencing any issues, you can leave it for now. Hope fully NG will come out with official EU and ROW version in next few weeks or so. Please be patient.
