This is the ONLY email that I would like to receive from Netgear but I can't see how to subscribe to it!
In the past, I would occasionally see a post mentioning "I got an email from Netgear about new firmware..." and would wonder, "why is this guy getting an email and I did not?" Do not recall seeing one of these posts in at least a year. In my case, I have NEVER received email announcing firmware updates for any of the Netgear products I registered.
My conclusion is the answer is, "No. There is no method to sign up to learn about firmware releases and only firmware releases."
Fortunately, as long as the Orbi is functioning correctly, there is no urgency about updating firmware. This is not a PC where hackers are discovering serious new vulnerabilities daily.
