New - RBE970 / RBE971 Firmware Version 9.12.4.16 Released (for NA Region Only)!

It appears that "NA region" (which I assume means North America) is not the same as "US region". I tried to update my RBE971 from 9.12.3.3 to 9.12.4.16 this morning and I think it's bricked now. When it starts up, the light near the base just blinks on-and-off, and I'm not getting any WiFi.

I opened a ticket with NETGEAR support to see if there's anything I can do to revive it. I didn't have time to try a factory reset before I left home, and I probably should wait to see if support tells me to try something else first. Hopefully I can revive it without having to send it in for reprogramming. Ugh.
