The answer is, "it depends". If your Orbi is not functioning correctly, new firmware has addressed some problems. But, new firmware often introduces new problems. So, if the Orbi is functioning the way you want, there is no need to update the firmware. When there is an urgent requirement to update firmware, the hope is that Netgear will make that need abundantly clear.
