Some times you will find leaked firmware that does not show up on the website or available through the WEB GUI. I never update to those, until they become official, as you can read story after story about issues related to the new firmware. So I wait for it to be visible on the Netgear Website. Currently there are 2 updates for my Orbi RBK53 system, but don't show up on their website. I have not updated.

I don't believe it was leaked firmware. The other day I logged onto my Orbi app I was notified that there was a firmware update available. I clicked on update and installed 2.5.1.22 on my router without an issue. I also have two RBS 20 satellites but the website states that my 2.5.1.16 firmware he's up-to-date on them. I can find no mention anywhere on the Internet of the 2.5.1.22 firmware update.

Wow. many of us were upgraded automatically to 2.5.2.4 a week or so ago. Still no mention of it on Netgear's site.

Exactly and many of us running V2.5.1.16 were not. So it had to be a push to resolve issues with the previous firmware, or everyone would be getting it and it would be on the Netgear website for download.
