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.
I don't think it has been pushed out to everyone in North America either or at least I haven't seen it yet.
- 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.

I installed this firmware as a last-ditch attempt and magically all is working properly.
A fairly non-standard setup:
My 970 is in Access Point Mode, sits behind a pFSense Firewall appliance (24.03-RELEASE), and gets DHCP/DNS from a hyper-v process running pihole (Pi-hole v5.18.3, FTL v5.25.2, Web Interface v5.21)
Two satellites: one satellite has wired backhaul and the other is wireless.
It is all now working smoothly with this upgrade and both the app and the web interfaces are now working as expected.)
Great to hear. Thanks for the feedback.
