Did the BE98 Pro ever get it's AFC firmware update?

I've been watching for the Asus GT-BE19000 with AFC to arrive in the US, but it was also supposedly confirmed that the BE98 Pro was getting AFC before the EOY 2024. Did this ever happen? I'm not updating until something has AFC.

I feel the same way also was gonna make the same post. Never buy a product based on a future feature promise. I was ready but to upgrade my router to get ahead of the tariff but disappointed to see the feature is not enable and there's no status when it will happen if at all.

Looking at the FCC filing I think they're waiting for approval AFC update via firmware. I think the application got the authorization on 3/18/2025. Maybe they'll enable it in the next firmware. They had a filing for 2 new HW revision last year with and without a barometric pressure sensor. I wonder if the AFC update will be available all revision or just the new ones.
