its really confusing. amazon reviews says hardware version is v2 and then goes ahead and says board version has changed from 1.0 to 1.1 to 1.2 as of march 2025.

Bought a new ge98 pro from bestbuy, the guy said i have the latest 2025 board version as asus changed the default ssid for these to "ASUS_B8" from "ASUS_98"
the "B" in the name indicates new board..go figure...

lets see how many issues i have to deal with this now trying to set it up. I am upgrading from a 5300 model after 8 years.
