Orbi Firmware v2.5.0.38

I opened my orbi App to look at a "newly connected device" that I later realized was an old tablet of mine, (internet was working fine) and I decided to look for an update since I was there. I hit the search for update function and it installed. I didn't have to seek this out and upload it manually. This is a wide release that will likely mean a lot of new Orbi users will be returning products.

I usually operate under the assumption that updates make fixes and improvements to security, stability, and features. Because of this, I tend to update when available for all my devices, TV, Roku, Ring, phone, computer, game consoles, etc... often these updates fix newly exposed exploits.

Now, I've learned my lesson and wont be doing that with Netgear products unless there is a security issue. This likely isnt what Netgear would suggest given the router searches for updates on initial setup. They recommend keeping the product up to date
