That doesn't mean alot. When the Netgear version was sent for certification it probably had an early firmware on it that gave just enough to pass whilst disabling features which were still being worked on. The Huawei version will have had a later firmware whilst being certified enabling things that are now available on the Netgear version.

The devices will be the same design. We know this. They will use the same firmware. We know this. They will source their components from different places for resiliency purposes, we can guess that will be the case. Which components are most stable? Who knows, though Huawei don't usually do well at build quality.

The feature set will be the same though. So we are told. I see no advantage in VM creating problems for themselves by giving people a reason to moan about getting a specific version when VM can't provide any specific version to a requesting customer.

Don't read too much into the certificates other than it meets a certain feature set at the moment the certificate was issued.
