    The firmware was accidentally uploaded before it was ready and was then taken down. I would not recommend downloading firmware from anywhere but the official source and especially in this case downloading a firmware that was not meant to be upgraded to and therefore could have lots of issues if you were to upgrade.

Probably leaked or some hack. I see it's been removed. 

 

Only get your FW files from NGs main download page:

https://www.netgear.com/support/

 

Or from here in the forums. Avoid any 3rd party sites.
