Will the "Beta" US-spec AP7 hardware also be compatible in the EU?
I currently live in the US and was planning on ordering the AP7 during the beta period (shipped to my address in the US). However we are planning on moving to the EU later this year, at which time I would presumably want to take the AP7 with me.
Obviously it will need a different power supply, but is the current US limitation stated on the product page due to things like the power supply, shipping constraints, and/or Beta software? Or because the core hardware is only compatible with US networking regulations, etc.?
I would be fine to shelf the AP7 for a few months after my EU move to wait for future EU-friendly software updates, but I just wanted to confirm whether or not this AP7 would eventually be compatible, or if the hardware is the constraint, and a future EU-spec hardware purchase would be required.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Awesome, thanks for the response.
Yeah, I've seen some people on forums that have tried to manually combat the channel differences (or something similar - not 100% sure on the details, still somewhat new to this) when they moved various US-market units overseas, but seems like more trouble than it's worth for me. Just wanted to confirm that was the case here as well. Sounds like I'll need to hold off for now, but really excited to see you guys continue to release new hardware!
One last side question: I currently have a Gold SE that I would like to take with me when I move - since it's a router and not an AP, any concerns with moving that from the US to the EU other than the power supply?
Did a quick search here and looks like plenty of people buy from the EU, but couldn't find anything about someone moving their US-purchased unit over there...
