Orbi RBR50 Router Firmware Version V2.7.2.102
A new Router Firmware Version V2.7.2.102 installed automatically during the night. So far so good!

The newest firmware for the RBR50/RBS50 (2.7.2.104) no longer has the "U.S. Only" comment.
It can be downloaded from here:

The decision "to update or not update" is entirely yours.
I would not assume that v104 isn't for all regions, this version still follows the v2.7 version line thus may still be considered a continuation fix from the v2.7 line and thus maybe a security fix for what may have been missing in v102 which I is still a US region only version. We should confirm with NG support to see if this still holds true.

a little late for that don't you think?
Thanks all for the constructive views. I think asking questions on forums such as this is part of the homework, isn't it?
