The firmware cannot be found on the official site.
@Netgear or maybe FURRYe38 please provide us with an changelog.
Blanca_O netgear Any chance you could provide us with the changelog for the firmware that was automatically pushed to us?
Thanks in advance for your help
No further clues here either:

The last entry is "MSG25116" which would indicate V2.5.1.16 as each of the MSG flags seem to be previous versions that I recognise.
Satellites still not updated or detecting new firmware. Hopefully something official will appear next week.
Reading log files after update into the router, i saw some interresting URL...
Try these for manualy upgrade if some of you can wait anymore :

Satellite URL fixed (thanks gjacknow)
Still not mentioned on the netgear site? No updates on firmware updates. Official firmware on the site is still 2.5.1.16

It's mad, isn't it? Push a new firmware and have no communication about release notes or what has changed.
I suppose you could argue we were running a firmware that they no longer support but when we installed, it was from a genuine link on their web site so we've done nothing wrong.
Apart from wired backhaul not working, it's been pretty solid for me.Guess we'll have to continue playing the waiting game...
