Archer C9(US) Ver: 5.0 vs. Archer C9(CA) Ver: 4.0 ?

Hello: Is there a difference and is it important between these two routers? If I were to keep only one, then which would you recommend? Both routers were purchased from Amazon.ca a few days apart. Many thanks.

The hardware should be mostly the same. V5 has a newer firmware update available so I'd go with that.

I'm thinking the same thing - if I recall correctly both versions came out a few months apart the same year although this leads me to wonder why the short time between versions if not to fix something.
