These Netgear emails make no sense. I have been following this community forum for two years, and have never heard an explanation of how they are created. If the Orbi WiFi system is working correctly, PLEASE, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

If you want to update your Orbi FW, you can check to see what is most current, always manually download the FW files from here:
https://www.netgear.com/support/
Review the release notes for each version of FW and determine if you want to update.
Manually install them using a web browser connected to the RBS and RBRs web page. Update the RBS first, then RBR lastly.
You don't have to update either.
