MR1100 downloaded newer update than the netgear website shows is the latest

I checked firmware.  It said i needed to update.  It did. New version is NTG9X50C_12.06.39.00.  The netgear website says the latest version built in may is 12.06.11.  Anyone know why?

    Your device is AT&T SKU. FW upgrade for AT&T device is managed by AT&T.

     

    The FW version you saw on Netgear support site is for Netgear generic SKU I think. The verrsions are different.

     

    Thanks

      I also have this router updated to that firmware. It doe appear forced update.

      That firmware also locks out certain APN which was working prior to .39.

       

      Can i update my router (its unlocked, i'm using T Mobile on it and it work with the only working AT&T Broadband APN) so that i can reuse my other APN?

       

      Can i use the generic netgear firmware on this?

       

      Please help!
