Old Bitdefender Version???
Hi, I have a recently purchased Netgear Orbi AX6000, it’s setup and I have Netgear Armor. I’ve installed Bitdefender Total Security on several devices, and I’ve found out that the version is actually ...

That's coming from the bitdefender end.
Regular updates I would get and totally understand (as the Netgear Armor team would need to take Bitdefender's build and make the necessary adjustments to have it go to the Netgear Armor portal vs. Bitdefender Central). However, speaking with Bitdefender support yesterday the latest NA build (25.0.21.80) is "pretty old". Again, there's an entire major number difference, which is typically the annual release with other systems (i.e. the current BD build is 26.xx.xx.xx).
I'm not saying having the latest version is a must-have, but at some point being too far back in a build takes you from a security tool to a security risk - One that I'm paying the subscription for.
The updates are amazingly slow all the problems fixed in the bitdefender are left wide open in the netgeaer much more expensive version for months
