  The reason people ask the specific firmware number is there are differences in the way Orbi functions depending on the firmware release. For example, 2.3.5.30 was released last May, and 2.5.0.38 was released about a week ago. Some people who updated firmware have reported that some issues have been improved, and (alas) in some areas the new firmware is "broken."
  
  So, "current" might be 2.3.5.30 or 2.5.0.38.
