Update went smooth, no issues so far.
This recommended firmware is a year old now. There's nothing to improve? No new security vulnerabilities to patch? No features they are excited to drop? Even my 4 year old TV is getting firmware updates more regularly.
Are you having issues with the current version of FW?
Are there security issues your concerned about?
v.31 was last version which many users reporting having issues with. So we recommended users revert back to v.21 for now as it was most stable and solid. NG is aware of issues with v.31 and is working on it.
FW doesn't come out every day or willy nilly for networking equipment. Not the same as TVs. Takes time to develop and test. Can take months and months. NG doesn't post when new FW is forth coming. Just have to keep checking NG download site or here in the forums.
Also, if it works, don't fix it.
