Change pinned firmware topic to latest version?

The pinned firmware topic is for v4.6.3.7 while v4.6.3.9 is the latest.  It would be nice if the pinned topic was for the current release.

    .7 is for the 7 series Orbi, .9 is for the 8 series Orbi.

      There should still be a pin for the .9 firmware which is currently missing.  It makes it appear (without doing digging) that that is the current Orbi firmware

       

      And the distinction between the .7 and .8 series and their different firmware is not particularly clear.  It's also a horrible naming strategy for the firmware series, I hope NG will come up with something better in the future.

        Will try asking to pin up posts regarding new FW as they come out. 

         

        NG seems to keep there FW naming conventions in a particular way. Something they've used for years. Just the way it is.
